Pure niobium sheet have a wide range of applications, mainly including the following aspects:

1.In the aerospace field, niobium sheet have the characteristics of high melting point, corrosion resistance, and high strength, and are commonly used in the manufacturing of parts such as engines, combustion chambers, and ducts. High purity niobium iron and niobium nickel alloys, niobium tantalum thermal strength alloys, and other materials have important applications in aerospace, such as the production of aircraft engines, rocket engines, jet engines, artificial satellites, spacecraft, gas turbine engines, turbochargers, and heat-resistant components.

2. Steel industry: Niobium plays an important role in steel production, with approximately 85% to 90% of niobium used in the form of niobium iron in this field. Adding 0.03% to 0.05% niobium to steel can increase its yield strength by more than 30%, while also improving its toughness, high temperature oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and weldability. Niobium is also used to manufacture high-strength low-alloy steel, which is widely used in oil and gas pipelines, automotive components, steel tracks, ship hulls, and building structures.

3. Electronic components: Pure Niobium sheets have good conductivity and plasticity, and are commonly used in the manufacturing of electronic components such as semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, etc. In addition, single crystals of compounds such as lithium niobate and potassium niobate are widely used in optoelectronics and electronics, such as infrared, laser technology, and electronic tubes and other vacuum devices.

4. Superconducting materials: Some compounds and alloys of niobium have high superconducting transition temperatures and are used to manufacture superconducting magnets, such as superconducting generators, high-power magnets for accelerators, superconducting magnetic energy storage devices, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging equipment, etc. Niobium titanium and niobium tin alloys are important superconducting materials widely used in magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging for medical diagnosis.

5. Medical field: Niobium has good resistance to physiological corrosion and biocompatibility, and is commonly used in the manufacture of medical devices such as bone plates, skull plate screws, dental implants, pacemakers, etc. In addition, niobium is also used in the manufacture of artificial joints and dental implants.

6. Other applications: In the chemical industry, niobium is a high-quality acid and liquid metal corrosion-resistant material used in the production of equipment such as steamers, heaters, and coolers. Niobic acid is also an important catalyst. In the foundry industry, niobium is used to manufacture cylinder heads, piston rings, and brake pads for automobiles.
