Niobium Foam Features

Niobium Foam is a porous metal with high porosity and a large aperture, making it has various features as follows:

  • High Strength and Low Density: The porous structure of niobium foam gives it a low density while maintaining high strength, making it ideal for applications that require a lightweight material.
  • Good Corrosion Resistance: Niobium itself has excellent corrosion resistance, and Niobium foam shows good performance in harsh chemical environments.
  • High Porosity: The excellent porous structure of niobium foam makes it very effective in applications such as filtration, catalyst carriers, and more.

Niobium Foam Applications

  • Aerospace: Due to its lightweight and high-strength properties, Niobium Foam is commonly used to manufacture structural components for aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Energy: Niobium foam is also used in heat exchangers and other key components of nuclear reactors.
  • Electronics: Niobium foam is used as a heat sink in electronic components to help manage the heat of the device.
  • Catalyst carriers: Due to its high surface area and good chemical stability, niobium foam is often used as a catalyst carrier in chemical reactions.
  • Defense and Aerospace

    • Niobium Foam Packaging

    The Niobium Foam is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional support from soft materials to prevent any shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.

    We carry a wide variety of niobium and niobium alloy products in stock, and for these, there is generally no minimum order requirement. However, for custom orders, we typically set a minimum order value of $200. The lead time for stock items is usually 1-2 weeks, while custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending on the specifics of the order.

    DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) compliance is primarily concerned with the sourcing of materials for defense-related applications in the United States. According to DFARS, certain materials used in defense must be sourced from the United States or qualifying countries.

    If you have specific niobium materials that are subject to DFARS, please let us know in advance and we will confirm.

    At Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, we take this responsibility seriously. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Our company operates with a strict code of ethics and is committed to only partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to responsible sourcing. We support the initiatives and programs aimed at promoting “conflict-free” supply chains and work diligently to ensure that our products meet these standards.

    Niobium foam is a porous material made from metallic niobium, containing a large volume of interconnected pores. It combines the intrinsic properties of niobium (e.g., high melting point, corrosion resistance) with the unique structural features of foam, offering high specific surface area, low density, and excellent permeability.

    Yes. By precisely controlling the type, particle size, and content of the space holder, or selecting templates with different PPI (Pores Per Inch), niobium foam with specific porosity (e.g., 50%-90%) and pore size ranges (from micrometers to millimeters) can be produced to meet different application requirements.

    Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, established in 2022 in Shanghai, China, is a specialized supplier and manufacturer of niobium and niobium alloys. With extensive expertise in supply and export, we offer competitive pricing and customized solutions tailored to specific requirements, ensuring outstanding quality and customer satisfaction. As a professional provider of refractory metals, specialty alloys, spherical powders, and various advanced materials, we serve the research, development, and large-scale industrial production needs of the scientific and industrial sectors.
