ASTM B 391, R04251-Type 3, Nb1Zr Ingot, Niobium alloy containing 1 % zirconium Ingot

According to the requirements of performance and purity of gap impurities (carbon, oxygen and nitrogen), the ingot of Nb-1Zr alloy can be prepared and manufactured by consumable arc furnace and electron beam furnace.

If purity requirements of Nb1Zr Ingot is low, it can also be formed and sintered by mixing niobium powder and zirconium powder.
