Ferroniobium, Ferro Niobium, FeNb

Product Information

Ferro Niobium is an alloy, which is formed by combining iron and niobium with a niobium content range of 60-80%. Ferro Niobium is the number one alloying agent used for high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel and Ferro Niobium has captured 80% of the world market in HSLA. Ferro Niobium additives to HSLA steel (as well as to stainless steel) can be found in oil and gas pipelines, automotive bodies, tools, ship hulls, railroad tracks and a host of other specialist applications. Since Ferro Niobium can effectively double the strength and toughness, as well as reduce the weight of the alloy, it is a highly desirable compound.

Properties of Ferro Niobium

Ferro Niobium is an additive to the production process of amorphous metals, and will impart several desirable properties upon the resulting compound. One of the primary benefits of adding Ferro Niobium to an alloy is in its anti-corrosive properties (better than carbon steel). Additionally, the adding of Ferro Niobium to an alloy can make it more weldable and much stronger. With the addition of other elements such as Zirconium, Ferro Niobium-produced steel is perfect for directionally sensitive applications such as suspension bridges. Most SAE grade steels are Ferro Niobium treated, as Ferro Niobium increases high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, creep resistance, as well as reducing erosion at higher temperatures.

Applications of Ferroniobium 

Ferro niobium is used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction. In the aerospace industry, Ferro niobium can be found in aircraft components such as landing gear or engine parts due to its strength and heat-resistant properties. In the auto industry, ferroniobium can be used to make strong yet lightweight components for cars, such as engine blocks or exhaust systems that need to withstand high temperatures under normal operating conditions. Last but not least, Ferro niobium can be used in construction projects where corrosion resistance is essential; this includes bridges or other large structures exposed to harsh weather conditions or marine environments.

- Ferro niobium is an alloy of iron and niobium.

- It is used as an additive in steelmaking to improve strength and toughness.

- It is also used in welding, electrical, and electronic applications.

- Ferro niobium can also be used in superalloys and high-temperature alloys.

- Additionally, Ferro niobium can be used in the production of magnets and as a catalyst in the chemical industry.
