In fact, materials like niobium alloy that can withstand high temperatures are usually given priority for use in the aerospace industry, especially in spacecraft engines. Not only are there high requirements for the high-temperature resistance of the materials, but also for their strength. Like the traditionally used ceramics, although they meet the requirements in terms of high-temperature resistance, this material becomes brittle at room temperature and is always unsatisfactory. The thermal strength alloy of niobium has excellent thermal strength performance, heat resistance and processing performance, which precisely meets the requirements of aerospace engines. It is most suitable for manufacturing engine components and gas turbine blades, etc. It is said that in the United States, the hot components of almost all jet fighter engines are made of niobium alloy.
The brand-new niobium alloy material can withstand the test of a high-temperature environment of 2400℃, and it is highly resilient and stable, maintaining a constant state even at room temperature. In the future, it will not only be installed on aerospace equipment but also be used in the production of fighter jet engines. The blades made from it will perform very stably at both room temperature and high temperature, and can be easily manufactured to meet the airfoil curves required by fighter jets. Moreover, it can ensure a hollow interior, allowing for smooth circulation of gases in various internal pipelines and providing excellent heat dissipation effects.
In addition, in many fields such as the electronics industry, the medical field, and the atomic energy field, if niobium alloy materials are used, it will have a huge promoting effect on these industries. Niobium alloy, an alloy formed by adding several elements to niobium as the base, is an important refractory metal material. It mainly includes niobium-hafnium alloy, niobium-tungsten alloy, niobium-zirconium alloy, niobium-titanium alloy, niobium-tungsten-hafnium alloy, niobium-tantalum-tungsten alloy and niobium-titanium aluminum alloy. Niobium alloys usually maintain the low-temperature plasticity of pure niobium while having much higher strength and other properties than pure niobium. Among the four refractory metal materials of tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum and niobium, niobium alloy has the highest strength.
