Different forms of niobium processed parts, such as plates, bars, tubes, foils, or deep-processed parts, such as target materials, superconducting coils, medical device components, etc. Then, it can be expanded by field, which may include aerospace, medical care, energy, electronics, superconducting technology, etc. In the aerospace field, the high melting point and high-temperature strength of niobium may be used in rocket engine components, such as nozzles, combustion chambers, and additives in superalloys. In the medical field, niobium has good biocompatibility and may be used in implants, such as orthopedic plates, dental implants, or corrosion-resistant components of medical devices.
In the field of energy, the application of niobium in nuclear reactors, such as as a structural material, or in nuclear fusion devices. In addition, niobium superconducting materials are used in the superconducting coils of MRI or in the superconducting cavities of particle accelerators. In the field of electronics, niobium may be used as a target material in semiconductor manufacturing or as a material for capacitors.
It has better corrosion resistance than titanium, a higher critical temperature for superconductivity, and excellent biocompatibility, etc. It may be necessary to elaborate on each application scenario point by point, including specific components, reasons for use and advantages. It would be best to provide some practical examples, such as the use of niobium alloy nozzles in a certain rocket model or niobium components in a certain medical device.
