Niobium metal production

Production

Production of niobium is increasing every year. This is due to the organic combination of its properties such as refractoriness, ability to form high-temperature and superconducting alloys, getter properties, corrosion resistance, low electron yield work, small thermal neutron capture cross-section, excellent hot and cold pressure machinability and weldability. But this metal is quite expensive. Niobium metal dust is flammable and irritating to skin and eyes. Industrial production of this metal can be roughly divided into the following groups (depending on how the compounds are affected):

• natriethermic;
• carbothermic;
• aluminum-thermal;
• reduction from chlorides using hydrogen.

There is also the method of molten media electrolysis. The latter is used to isolate tantalum, while niobium is obtained as a by-product.

The supplier Auremo offers high quality products that meet GOST and international standards.

Application

Refractory niobium and its alloys are indispensable for aircraft and missile parts; nuclear gas pedals, nuclear boiler shells (NbC, melting point 3480°С), 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 computing machines.
