Niobium particles have the following properties:
1. Physical characteristics:
Appearance: Niobium elemental is a shiny gray metal particle that turns blue when exposed to air and oxygen.
• Density: The relatively high density of about 8.57g/cm³ gives niobium particles an advantage in some applications where material density is required.
• Melting point: Melting point up to 2468 ° C (some data show 2477 ° C), is a high melting point metal, can be stable in high temperature environment, so it can be used in high temperature applications, such as aerospace engines and heat-resistant parts.
• Ductility: High purity niobium metal has high ductility, but as the impurity content increases, the ductility decreases and the texture becomes hard.
• Electrical conductivity: It has good electrical conductivity and has application potential in fields requiring electrical conductivity such as the electronics industry.
Superconductivity: It transforms into a superconductor at extremely low temperatures, a property that makes it useful in the field of superconducting materials, such as superconducting cables and superconducting magnets.
2. Chemical properties:
• Activity: Niobium is an active metal element, easy to react with carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and other elements.
Corrosion resistance: When niobium forms a layer of oxide on its surface, it becomes resistant to further corrosion.At room temperature, niobium does not react with acids, but it does react under hot concentrated acids and strong bases.
• Catalytic performance: Niobium particles have certain catalytic properties and can act as catalysts in some chemical reactions.For example, in some organic synthesis reactions, niobium particles can be used as catalysts to improve the rate and selectivity of the reaction.
3. Other features:
• Low neutron capture cross section: The capture cross section for thermal neutrons is very low, which makes niobium an important application in the nuclear industry, such as as a jacket material for nuclear fuel, and a structural material for heat exchangers in nuclear reactors.
• Dispersibility: Niobium particles have high dispersibility and can be dispersed in many substrates, such as glass, ceramics, metals, etc.
