Spherical Niobium Powder Description
Niobium has a small neutron capture section, high thermal conductivity, and high strength, and is used as a nuclear fuel cladding material, nuclear fuel alloy additive, and heat exchanger structural material in atomic energy reactors. Metallurgical grade niobium powder is mainly used as alloy additives and production of welding electrodes, refractory materials, etc.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) has over two decades of experience in the manufacture and sale of Niobium products and specializes in producing high-purity Spherical Niobium Powder.

Spherical Niobium Powder Application
-
Superalloys: Niobium is often used in the production of superalloys for aerospace applications, where materials must withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. The spherical shape of the powder can provide better flowability and packing density, which is beneficial in the manufacturing process.
-
Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): Similar to other spherical metal powders, Spherical Niobium Powder can be used in additive manufacturing processes due to its excellent flowability and packing characteristics.
-
Electronics: Niobium can be used in the production of electronic components, such as capacitors, due to its high melting point and good electrical conductivity.
-
Optical Devices: Niobium is sometimes used in optical devices due to its high refractive index. The spherical shape of the powder can provide benefits in the manufacturing process of these devices.
-
Nuclear Reactors: Niobium is resistant to neutron absorption, making it useful in applications such as nuclear reactors.
-
Medical Devices: Due to its biocompatibility, Niobium is sometimes used in the production of medical devices, such as pacemakers and artificial joints.
-
Chemical Industry: Niobium is used as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions.
