Metal niobium
Technical characteristics
Niobium (Nb) is the 41st element in the periodic table of D. I. Mendeleev. Its atomic weight is 93.986. This refractory, silvery grayish metal with a melting point of 2468 °C has a number of undeniable advantages. It is used in industry both as a pure metal and as an alloying component. For example, the alloy of niobium and silver is used to make collector coins (Austria). The undoubted advantages of the metal are:
- good machinability;
- corrosion resistance;
- excellent weldability;
- getter properties.

Application
Refractory niobium and its alloys are indispensable for parts of aircraft and missiles, nuclear gas pedals, nuclear boiler shells (niobium carbide, melting temperature 3480 ° C), containers for molten metals and radioactive waste storage. Coolants in nuclear reactors (liquid potassium and sodium), move through niobium tubes. Niobium is in demand in the production of electrolytic capacitors; cathodes, anodes, grids of powerful generator lamps. Niobium alloys are used to make chemical equipment. It alloys chromium steels. It is also used in cryotrons — superconducting components of calculating machines.
