Niobium target application: niobium target is mainly used in surface engineering materials, such as shipbuilding, chemical industry, liquid crystal display (LCD) and heat resistance, corrosion resistance and high conductivity coating industry, thin film solar industry, low radiation glass industry, flat panel display industry, optical coating industry, tools and decorative coating industry.
Niobium is an effective steel microalloying element in which niobium carbide and niobium nitride are formed. These compounds improve grain refinement and delay recrystallization and precipitation hardening. These same niobium alloys are commonly used in pipeline construction.
Nickel, cobalt and iron based superalloys contain up to 6.5% niobium and are used in applications such as jet engine components, gas turbines, rocket assemblies, turbocharger systems, heat resistance and combustion equipment. Niobium precipitates hardening γ "phase in the grain structure of the superalloy.
Superconducting magnet：Niobium (Nb3Ge), niobium tin (Nb3Sn) and niobium titanium alloy are used as type II superconducting wires for superconducting magnets. These superconducting magnets are used in magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance instruments as well as particle accelerators.
Niobium target alloy series: In addition to niobium target, we can also provide niobium germanium alloy, niobium tin alloy, niobium zirconium alloy, niobium hafnium alloy, niobium titanium alloy, molybdenum niobium alloy, aluminum niobium alloy, lithium niobate alloy and other sputtering targets. The niobium target has the same characteristics as the source material. Niobium is a silver-gray, rare, soft, and malleable transition metal with a melting point of 2468℃, a density of 8.57g/cm3, and a vapor pressure of 0.0755 pa (2741K). The purity of niobium target material can reach more than 99.95%, the grain size is small, the recrystallization structure is good, and the triaxial consistency is good. As the target material for cathode sputtering, the oxide film formed by it has uniform quality and will not react with other substances in the air, which has a lasting protective effect. It is also used in various superconducting alloys and is a common element in jewelry production.
