Niobium Powder
Description

Niobium Powder is a gray to light gray metal powder with paramagnetic properties, while it takes on a bluish tint when exposed to air at room temperatures for extended periods. High-purity niobium metal has high ductility but hardens with increasing impurity content. Niobium powder finds itself in various applications such as electronics, alloy-making, and medical due to its desirable chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties.
