Applications
Niobium-titanium is an alloy of niobium and titanium, used industrially as a type II superconductor wire for superconducting magnets, normally as Nb-Ti fibers in an aluminum or copper matrix. The most popular application of Nb50Ti50 wires in the market is to manufacture Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) scanners used in medical institutions. Nb55Ti45 can be used in anti-corrosion engineering. Nb55Ti45 is used for high pressure equipment to filter Gold and Nickel in high pressure and high concentration oxygen environment. In current market, niobium-titanium alloy (Nb 46%-48%) is used largely due to its practical value-low magnetic field superconducting properties, excellent and stable mechanical properties, flexible workability and low cost. Nb-Ti is the only superconducting material achieving commercialization and it is up to more than 90% of the usage. Additionally, surgical implants has become a new application for Nb-Ti alloy because of its better biocompatibility, similar density and texture as human bones, good workability, high strength as well as the good environmental adaptation.
Other applications of niobium-titanium wires include:
- Chemical industry
- Electronic
- Aviation and aerospace
