Ferro Niobium

Chemical Formula	Available Form	Description of the Product
Nb – 60-70%, Fe- balance	Dia = 9mm Cored Wire, Lumps, Granules, Powder	Niobium maintain fine grain sizes in steels at elevated temperatures and is one of the most important of the “micro alloying” elements (MAE), a group of additions so named because they promote significantly improved properties at very low concentrations. Additive for steel-making, foundry and alloying agent for electric welding rod, etc. Major use as micro alloy in HSLA steels to improve yield strength.Niobium precipitates as NbC at very high temperature thus giving rapid dissolution of FeNb in iron melt improving the mechanical properties by precipitation strengthening.
