Spherical Niobium Powder Description
Niobium has a small neutron capture section, high thermal conductivity, and high strength, and is used as a nuclear fuel cladding material, nuclear fuel alloy additive, and heat exchanger structural material in atomic energy reactors. Metallurgical grade niobium powder is mainly used as alloy additives and production of welding electrodes, refractory materials, etc.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) has over two decades of experience in the manufacture and sale of Niobium products and specializes in producing high-purity Spherical Niobium Powder.
