Medical field
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) : Niobium-titanium alloy is a key material for manufacturing superconducting magnets in MRI equipment. It has the advantages of easy processing, long wire production, relatively low raw material cost, stable and reliable performance, and good superconducting performance. It can generate a strong and stable magnetic field, providing a high-quality imaging environment for MRI and helping doctors accurately diagnose various diseases such as those of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system and urogenital system.
Medical materials: Niobium-titanium alloys have excellent biocompatibility, high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can be used as new medical materials such as dental implants.
Large-scale scientific facilities
Particle accelerator: In a particle accelerator, a strong magnetic field is required to control and accelerate particles. The high critical magnetic field and excellent superconducting properties of niobium-titanium alloy make it an ideal material for manufacturing superconducting magnets in accelerators. They can provide a stable magnetic field environment for particle acceleration, which is of great significance for basic scientific research and high-energy physics experiments.
Power supply field
Superconducting energy storage: Superconducting energy storage systems can play a role in regulating power quality, balancing electricity, and enhancing the stability of the power system grid. The superconducting properties of niobium-titanium alloys enable them to effectively store and release electrical energy in superconducting energy storage devices, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.
Cables: Although still in the research and testing stage, niobium-titanium alloys are expected to be used in the future to manufacture superconducting cables, reducing energy loss during power transmission and improving power transmission efficiency and capacity.
Aerospace
Engine parts: Aerospace engines operate in harsh environments and require materials with high-temperature performance, high strength and good oxidation resistance. Niobium-titanium alloys can still maintain good mechanical properties at high temperatures and can be used to manufacture high-temperature engine parts, such as turbine blades, etc. This can reduce the weight of the engine and increase the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine.
