Description

Ferroniobium consists of niobium and iron, along with small amounts of aluminum, silicon, carbon, and phosphorus, and typically containing 60-70% niobium. It is silver-gray in color and generally appears in lump form with a particle size of 10–60 mm. This ferroalloy is widely used in the production of high-strength low-alloy steels (HSLA) that require high stress tolerance.

Ferroniobium applications:

• As an alloying and nucleating element in casting steel and cast iron parts
• Significantly increased resistance to corrosion and oxidation
• Improved weldability
• Resistance to high temperatures
• Increased strength, toughness and ductility of steel parts
• Increased wear resistance in steel and cast iron parts
• Production of stainless steels, advanced steels and superalloys
• Production of jet engine turbine blades
• Construction of the bodies of some vehicles
• Construction of gas pipes, oil pipes and the production of various tools
