Niobium - Zirconium / Ingot
Description
With the continuous progress of technology, it will require materials with ever increasing temperature-and load-bearing capabilities for improved performance under extreme environmental conditions. Niobium is one of the most promising refractory metals for ultra-high temperature structural applications. The addition of zirconium to niobium can improve the strength of the alloy without affecting the plasticity and processing properties, and it also can improve the oxidation resistance and alkali metal corrosion resistance of the alloy.
Alfa Chemistry supplies a wide range of niobium-zirconium ingots which are highly acclaimed due to its good ductility, high conductivity and high quality. We can also customize various shapes of niobium products according to your requirements or drawings.
