🧪 Product Title

High Purity Niobium Granules 99.95% – Polished Niobium Metal Particles for Vacuum Melting, Research & Alloy Production

📄 Product Description

Niobium granules are high-purity metallic particles produced from refined niobium (Nb) with a guaranteed minimum purity of 99.95%, engineered for applications in vacuum melting, laboratory research, alloy manufacturing, and electronic materials. These granules are made by precision wire cutting or fragmentation (cracking) and are then mechanically polished to deliver a smooth, oxidation-free metallic surface.

Standard sizes include 3×3mm and 6×6mm, with custom dimensions available on request. The consistent particle size, low gas content, and excellent corrosion resistance make these polished niobium granules ideal for sensitive high-temperature and high-purity environments.

Our niobium granules are manufactured with a minimum purity of 99.95%, meeting the standards expected in advanced scientific applications and research. For reference, the base specification of niobium materials is described under the ASTM B393 standard

⚗️ Chemical Composition

All granules are analyzed using ICP-OES, LECO, and inert gas fusion methods to ensure elemental consistency and trace-level impurity control.

Superalloy production, such as Nb-Ti and Nb-Zr systems
Capacitor-grade material preparation and sputtering targets
Scientific laboratories for density demonstrations and elemental education
Custom metal alloys in aerospace and nuclear industries

🔬 Niobium Granules in Advanced Applications

Beyond traditional metallurgy, niobium granules are increasingly utilized in high-value domains such as superalloy development, where they contribute to enhanced high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and creep performance. In thin film deposition, they serve as feedstock for sputtering targets used in semiconductors, solar cells, and optical coatings. Their clean surface and tightly controlled impurities make them essential for industries where material reliability is non-negotiable.
