About Niobium
Niobium is a naturally occurring element. It is a metal that is ductile, malleable and highly resistant to corrosion. Because it
enhances properties and functionalities, niobium is used in a wide range of materials and applications in the Mobility,
Structural and Energy sectors. Niobium transforms materials. When added to materials like steel, glass and aluminum
castings, niobium makes them more efficient and lowers environmental impacts, while also increased value.
About Titanium
Titanium (Ti) is as strong as steel, but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals,
including aluminum, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft and spacecraft because of their low
density and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They are also used in sports equipment, laptops, bicycles and medical
prostheses. Recently, this metal has been used in some battery components.
