Ngokuvamile kuthatha izikhathi ezimbili zokukhishwa kwe-Niobium Tube / Pipe. Ngemuva kokukhishwa kokuqala, ipulasitiki ye-Niobium alloy yathuthukiswa kakhulu. Ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokufakwa kabusha kwe-recrystallization annealing, hhayi kuphela i-extrusion yesibili engenziwa, kodwa futhi okunye ukucubungula ukucindezela kungenziwa ekushiseni okuphansi.
Amashubhu e-Niobium ne-Niobium alloy anezimpawu zokuncibilika okuphezulu, ukumelana nokugqwala okuhle, ukusebenza okubandayo okusebenzayo. Zisetshenziswa kabanzi embonini yamakhemikhali, imboni ye-elekthronikhi, izindiza kanye nemboni ye-aerospace, ikakhulukazi esetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwesibani se-sodium esicindezelayo, indiza kanye nesakhiwo senjini ye-aerospace, isitsha samakhemikhali sokusabela, ishubhu yokushisa ukushisa, izingxenye zangaphakathi ze-reactor kanye nezinto zokugqoka. Ukwengeza i-Zirconium ku-Niobium kungathuthukisa kakhulu ukumelana ne-oxidation namandla wento.
