Niobium

Niobium Description

Brazil is the leading producer of niobium and ferroniobium, an alloy of niobium and iron. Niobium is used mostly in alloys, the largest part in special steel, which are used for example in gas pipelines. This substance is a chemical element that has the symbol Nb and atomic number 41. A rare, soft, gray, ductile transition metal, niobium is found in the minerals pyrochlore, which is the main source for niobium, and columbite. It was first discovered in the latter mineral and so was initially named columbium; that mineral has since been renamed niobite. Niobium is similar to tantalum, and the two are difficult to distinguish.
