Industrial Applications of Niobium
Niobium’s exceptional resistance to heat and corrosion makes it a top choice for alloy design across a wide range of industrial applications. Its most common use is as a microalloying element in steel production, where it enhances strength and durability.
Niobium is particularly valuable in high-temperature applications, offering reliable strength without the added weight of denser elements like tungsten or tantalum. This unique combination of properties makes niobium indispensable in industries that demand performance under extreme conditions.
At Elmet Technologies, we specialize in developing and integrating advanced technical materials to deliver proven, value-added solutions. Our industrial equipment is engineered to perform in some of the harshest environments on the planet, ensuring reliable results every time.
Machining and Fabrication
As technologies advance, component and assembly specifications become more stringent; machining and fabrication techniques must support demanding precision requirements and increasingly complex geometries.
Elmet operates more than 70 machines dedicated to supporting your precision machining and fabrication requirements.
