Niobium Sheet

Niobium sheet production in China uses advanced forging and rolling processes. Through multiple passes of forging and precision rolling, niobium sheet have uniform material, refined grains and excellent mechanical properties. The combination of cold rolling and hot rolling technology gives niobium plates excellent strength and ductility. Through annealing and solution treatment, the internal stress of niobium plates is eliminated, the structure is optimized, the performance is more stable, and it can meet high-demand industrial applications.

Among the leading niobium sheet metal manufacturers in China, iTOP Metal has a strong R&D team dedicated to the development of high-performance niobium alloy and composite materials. We use advanced processes such as electron beam melting and annealing to ensure the high purity and uniformity of niobium sheet to meet the strict application standards of chemical reaction capacitors, capacitor key components and superconductors.

Niobium sheet are widely used in various high-performance industrial fields with high temperature and high strength due to their high melting point, corrosion resistance, superconductivity and biocompatibility. Different grades of niobium sheet have their own unique performance advantages due to their different chemical composition and purity.

Pure niobium sheet (CP Grade Nb) contain more than 99.9% niobium and are suitable for use in high temperature and corrosive environments. Niobium titanium alloy sheet (NbTi) are mainly composed of niobium and a small amount of titanium. The titanium content is usually between 45%-55%. They have excellent superconducting properties, especially at low temperatures. They are used to manufacture superconducting magnets, cables, accelerator components and other equipment that require superconducting properties.

Niobium zirconium alloy sheet (NbZr) are composed of niobium and a small amount of zirconium. The zirconium content is usually between 1%-3%. They have good mechanical strength and creep resistance at high temperatures, while maintaining the excellent corrosion resistance of niobium. The addition of zirconium enhances the oxidation resistance of the alloy and makes it more stable in high temperature environments. Niobium-zirconium alloy sheet are mainly used in aerospace, high-temperature furnace linings, high-temperature resistant parts in chemical equipment, and nuclear reactor materials.

Niobium-tantalum alloy sheet (NbTa) are mainly composed of niobium and tantalum, and the tantalum content can range from 10% to 90%. Niobium-tantalum alloy combines the advantages of niobium and tantalum, with extremely high corrosion resistance, good conductivity and mechanical strength. The addition of tantalum gives the alloy better stability in high temperature and corrosive environments. It is commonly used in chemical equipment, high-temperature parts, electronic component manufacturing, and high-temperature structural materials in aerospace.

1. Chemical equipment: Niobium sheet are widely used to manufacture corrosion-resistant chemical equipment, such as heat exchangers, reactors, distillation towers and pump lining materials.
2. Electronics industry: Niobium sheet are used to manufacture high-precision capacitors, electrode materials and key components in semiconductor devices, such as interconnects and diffusion barriers. Electronic grade niobium plates are particularly suitable for electronic components that require high purity and high conductivity.
3. Aerospace: The high melting point, high strength and corrosion resistance of tantalum sheet make them widely used in the aerospace field, such as rocket engine components, high temperature furnace components and other high temperature resistant structural materials.
4. Superconducting applications: Niobium-titanium alloy sheet are widely used in the manufacture of superconducting magnets, cables and accelerator components, especially in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment and particle accelerators.
5. Aerospace: Niobium-based alloy sheet are widely used in the manufacture of high-temperature components of aircraft engines, rocket nozzles and other structural parts that need to operate in extreme high temperature environments.
