Niobium is a soft and ductile metal, which makes it a good material for tubes, pipes,  and even capillary tubes. The purity of the niobium can be up to 99.95%. An estimated 90% of niobium mined was used in high-grade structural steel. The second largest application is superalloys. Niobium alloy superconductors and electronic components account for a small share of the world production. Various dimensions of the niobium tubing are available. Please contact us for more details.

Application: Niobium-Nb capillary tube has features of metallic luster, no color changed by hydrogenation and oxidation, no scratch, no deformation and etc. and  it can be used to make special instruments, etc.

Thermostability 86%
Machinability 84%
Corrosion Resistance 85%
