Rare metal materials technology is one of the most important subjects in the field of materials science and engineering in the new century. Modern high technology such as information technology, new energy technology, space technology, biotechnology, superconducting technology and other developments are closely related to rare metal materials, especially tantalum-niobium new materials. Tantalum-niobium new materials have more and more development space in high-tech field. Secondly, the cemented carbide cutting tools toward the super hard, micro - fine tip direction of development, the application market is expected to maintain a steady upward trend; The tantalum-niobium base alloy and other special alloys will continue to develop steadily. In recent years, demand for special niobium steel has continued to grow, with demand from third world countries as well as developed ones. Special superconducting materials will be widely used in magnet materials and high and new computing technologies, and are being further developed. New applications of tantalum and niobium materials will be continuously developed. According to the development of the world's high-tech industry, the tantalum-niobium industry will continue to grow at a rate of more than 12% in the next five to 10 years.
At present, the main products in tantalum-niobium industry are tantalum powder (capacitor metallurgical grade), tantalum wire, tantalum carbide, tantalum and its alloy ingots, tantalum and its alloy processing materials (plate, tape, tube, bar, line), tantalum target materials, tantalum oxide (industrial, optical glass, high purity), lithium tantalate single crystal; Niobium powder (capacitor grade, metallurgical grade) niobium strip, niobium and its alloy ingot, niobium and its alloy additive (plate, strip, tube, bar, wire), niobium oxide (electrical grade, industrial, optical glass, high purity), niobium carbide, lithium niobate single crystal, niobium and its alloy superconducting material, etc. Tantalum niobium material.
