Niobium is a rare metal with high heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and ductility. As one of the few elements with excellent superconductivity, niobium plays a vital role as a material supporting cutting-edge technologies in medical equipment (MRI) and the aerospace sector.
It is also important as an additive in steel. Even a small amount significantly improves steel strength and weldability. It contributes to automotive weight reduction and enhances the durability of bridges and buildings. In this way, it supports the safety of our daily lives.
Niobium is rarely mined alone. It is often recovered as a byproduct of tantalum or iron ore mining.
The main producing countries are Brazil and Canada. Brazil is the largest producer, accounting for over 80% of the world’s supply.
