नाइओबियम के बारे में आप क्या जानते हैं?? If you’re like most people, the answer is not much. हालांकि, know this: niobium is used in all sorts of things, from hypoallergenic jewelry to superconducting magnets. You’ll even find niobium in some jet engines.
Niobium Characteristics
Niobium is a shiny, white metal that may turn shades of blue, green or yellow when exposed to air. With the atomic number of 41 and the symbol Nb, niobium has an atomic weight of 92.906 and a density of 8.57 grams per cubic centimeter. At room temperature it’s solid. Niobium’s melting point is 4,491 degrees Fahrenheit and its boiling point is 8,571 डिग्री F.
Niobium History
Niobium used to be called columbium in the U.S. for some 100 साल, whereas it was niobium in Europe. It has a complicated history, but suffice it to say that niobium was pretty much “figured out” in the mid-1800s. Around 1950, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry officially adopted niobium as the element’s name, in deference to European usage. ने कहा कि, you might still find some who refer to it as columbium!
Where Niobium is Found and Utilized
In nature, niobium is almost always found with tantalum. Today it’s found and mined in Brazil and Canada, with enough to last for probably the next five centuries according to experts.
Where is niobium most utilized? That would be in the steel industry. It’s used to create high-strength, low-alloy steels. Niobium is used to increase toughness as well as corrosion resistance.
अंत में, niobium is known as one of the five refractory metals, all of which have very high resistance to heat and wear.
