Niobium Powder

Niobium is a rare, silvery-gray transition metal with excellent corrosion resistance and high strength at high temperatures. Niobium Powder is primarily produced through the high-temperature reduction of niobium, ensuring high purity. It possesses high chemical stability and high-temperature resistance and is commonly used to prepare high-temperature alloys and corrosion-resistant alloys. Shanghai Yuepeng can supply high-purity niobium powder with a wide range of particle sizes to meet specific requirements.

To customize your niobium powder, please provide the following details:

  1. Purity
  2. Particle Size
  3. Quantity of the powder you need
  4. Applications (We can also make recommendations based on your specific needs.)

Once we have these details, we can provide you with a quote within 24 hours.

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 powder is mixed with other metal powders (e.g., nickel, cobalt, iron) via powder metallurgy processes, then compacted and sintered to create high-temperature, high-strength components for jet engines and gas turbines.

It is the core material for manufacturing niobium electrolytic capacitors. The porous anode formed by sintering niobium powder offers a high capacitance-to-volume ratio and reliability, widely used in consumer electronics and communication devices.

Particle size and distribution directly affect the powder’s flowability, packing density, and sintering behavior, ultimately determining the performance of the final product (e.g., electrical properties of capacitors, mechanical strength of alloys).

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.
