About Niobium
Niobium is a naturally occurring element. It is a readily available, reliable, soft 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 smarter and lower environmental impacts, while also delivering other
benefits like better performance, improved safety, and increased value.
