Niobium Metal & Powder

• Synonyms:

Columbium.

• Designations:

Chemical Name: Niobium

Chemical Formula: Nb

• Description:

Though most metallurgists refer to the metal as columbium, the name niobium was officially adopted by chemical authorities in 1950 after 100 years of controversy. Niobium is steel-gray or silvery-white, but takes on a bluish tint when exposed to air at room temperatures for extended periods. The metal's oxidation in air commences at 200°C. Niobium, when used in alloying, improves strength, and its superconductive properties are enhanced when combined with zirconium.
