Special Metal is a leading supplier of Niobium rod and other Niobium-made products and supplies them to domestic and international levels upholding the best quality. Niobium rods are available in various grades, each custom manufactured to unique industry requirements. Hence, it is widely used as per requirement in the different sector industries.
What is Niobium?
Niobium is a chemical component that is highly used in aerospace industries and others. We manufacture a wide variety of Niobium rod sizes and supply custom rod sizes with short lead times.
The size of the Niobium Alloy rod ranges as per requirement. For smaller diameters, Niobium rod or components are as small as possible and increases as per requirement within standard sizes.
In addition to commercially pure Niobium, we also supply Reactor Grade Niobium, Niobium Zirconium Alloys, Niobium Tungsten Alloy, Niobium Hafnium Alloy, and Niobium Titanium Alloy components used for jewelry and other fields.
Let’s discuss features of the Niobium rod:
Niobium is a chemical element having less corrosion-resistant properties than tantalum at high-temperature regions.
Niobium is not attacked by nitric acid up to 100 degrees Celsius but is aggressively attacked by a mixture of acids such as nitric and hydrofluoric.
The feature of the niobium material-made rod is that it is unaffected at room temperature by most of the acids.
Alkaline solutions attack it at all temperatures region because of its lower capture cross-section for thermal neutrons. Thus, it has a wide range of applications in the nuclear industry. The specialty of Niobium elements is that they can be electrically heated and anodized to a wide variety of colors, making them attractive for applications in the jewelry section.
Cold rolling and annealing methods are specially used for producing bars and rods with ideal mechanical properties and uniform grain structures throughout the rod.
What are the application field of the niobium rod?
Pure Niobium Alloy Rods are used in a vast array of application range starting from sodium vapor lamps, HD television backlighting, capacitors, jewelry, and chemical processing equipment.
