What is Niobium?
Niobium is a shiny white, ductile metal with a wide variety of uses. It qualifies as a strategic metal due to its abilities to be combined with other metals, such as titanium or tin, to become a super alloy. As a super alloy, niobium is a prime component for the aeronautics industry, and can be found in the turbine blades used in jet engines. Due to niobium’s high heat resistance, the metal is also used as a superconductor, which enables it to be used in instruments like MRIs, particle accelerators or superconducting wires. Beyond its uses as a strategic metal, niobium is also used in jewelry.
