Home > Niobium Sheet and Plates
Elvis Nickel Alloys, a top-notch manufacturer and supplier based in Houston, USA, specializes in high-purity Niobium Sheets and Plates designed for tough applications that demand outstanding corrosion resistance, high thermal stability, and biocompatibility. Niobium, a refractory metal with a melting point of 2477°C (4491°F), retains its strength and formability even in extreme temperatures. These sheets and plates are crafted to meet strict specifications like ASTM B393, ensuring they are consistent, ductile, and of high surface quality. They find extensive use in aerospace, electronics, superconducting, and medical fields, making them perfect for environments that require exceptional structural integrity and chemical resistance.
Niobium Sheets and Plates are composed of a minimum of 99.5% pure Niobium, with trace elements including Tantalum (up to 0.1%), Titanium (up to 0.04%), and Zirconium (up to 0.02%). These materials exhibit exceptional mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of approximately 275 MPa and a yield strength of around 140 MPa. They offer excellent ductility with an elongation rate of 20-30%, and their high melting point of 2,468°C ensures outstanding thermal stability. Niobium Sheets and Plates are highly corrosion-resistant, particularly in acidic environments, making them ideal for aerospace, medical, and chemical processing applications that demand durability and reliability.
