I-Niobium ifanelekile njengemathiriyeli yesakhiwo sereactor kunye nemathiriyeli yokugquma kwizibaso zenyukliya ngokunjalo nokhuselo lobushushu kunye nemathiriyeli yolwakhiwo elungelelaniswe kushishino lwe-aerospace. Kwishishini leMetallurgical, iNiobium isetyenziswa ikakhulu njengesongezo ukuvelisa amandla aphezulu ensimbi, ukuphucula iipropathi zealloys ezahlukeneyo kunye nokwenza izixhobo ezinzima kakhulu.
I-Niobium nayo idlala indima ebalulekileyo kwintsimi yotyando, engasetyenziselwa kuphela ukuvelisa izixhobo zonyango, kodwa ibe yinto enhle "ye-Biocompatible Material". I-Niobium inokwenza i-alloys enezinto ezahlukeneyo, ezinomsebenzi obalulekileyo kumashishini ahlukeneyo.
