Niobium is suitable as the structural material for reactor and coating material for nuclear fuel as well as the thermal protection and structural material adapted in aerospace industry. In the Metallurgical industry, Niobium is mainly used as additive to produce high strength alloy steel, to improve properties of various alloys and to make super hard tools.
Niobium also plays an important role in surgical field, which can not only be used to manufacture medical devices, but also be a good "Biocompatible Material". Niobium can constitute alloys with various elements, which have important applications in various industries.
