Introduction
Niobium is a soft, stretchable transition metal whose oxide, niobium pentoxide, forms a stable protective layer similar to aluminium oxide and zinc oxide, effectively preventing corrosion. When added to stainless steel, niobium improves resistance to high-temperature brittleness, reduces overheating sensitivity, and enhances the strength, toughness, and creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
Niobium plate features a small thermal neutron absorption cross section, excellent corrosion resistance, and high strength at high temperatures. These properties make it suitable for use as a structural material in nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel cladding, and as an additive for nuclear fuel.
In addition, niobium exhibits a high superconducting transition temperature, and its compounds and alloys are widely used in superconducting materials.
