The application of Niobium Ingot

Niobium ingots and billets (99.95%-99.99% purity) serve as fundamental raw materials for manufacturing critical components across superconducting, aerospace, chemical processing, and electronics industries.

Produced through electron beam refining (EBM) or vacuum arc remelting (VAR) processes with ultra-low interstitial content (O, N, C <100ppm), these premium-grade niobium are essential for superconducting wire production (including NbTi/Nb3Sn alloys for MRI magnets and fusion reactors), jet engine superalloys (such as Inconel 718 and Rene alloys for turbine blades), and corrosion-resistant chemical equipment (reactors and heat exchangers).

With exceptional properties including RRR >300 (Residual Resistivity Ratio) for superconducting applications, hot/cold workability for niobium seamless tube and rod extrusion, and full compliance with ASTM B393/AMS 7850 standards, niobium ingots (50-500mm diameter) and billets (up to 2000mm length) also find applications in semiconductor niobium sputtering targets for IC manufacturing and nuclear reactor components due to their low neutron absorption cross-section.

Available in both standard and custom sizes, our EBM/VAR-refined niobium products, including β-phase niobium feedstock and HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressed) variants, meet the most demanding requirements for advanced industrial applications while ensuring complete material traceability.

For technical specifications or application consultation, our materials engineering team provides comprehensive support to help select the optimal niobium ingot solution for your specific requirements, whether for large-scale industrial deployment or precision research applications.

In addition to Niobium Ingot, we also produce Niobium Sheet&Plate, Niobium Pellets, Niobium Foil, Niobium Rod&Bar, Niobium Wire, Niobium Disc, Niobium Shield, Niobium Target, Niobium machined parts, Niobium Spherical Powder. They meet Standard ASTM B 394 R04200, ASTM B 394 R04210, ASTM B 391 R04200, ASTM B 391 R04210, ASTM B 392 R04200, ASTM B 392 R04210, ASTM B 391 R04200, ASTM B 391 R04210.
