Niobium(Nb) is a silver gray, rare, soft, and ductile transition metal. The purity of niobium targets can reach over 99.95%, with small grain size, good recrystallization structure, and good triaxial consistency. As a sputtering target, the film formed by it has a uniform quality and will not react with other substances in the air, providing long-lasting protection. Niobium targets are widely used in optical lenses, electronic imaging, information storage, solar cells, glass coatings, ships, and chemical industries.

Popular Usage

As a high-purity niobium product, niobium targets have characteristics such as corrosion resistance, good high-temperature strength, and excellent electrical properties. They have broad application prospects in fields such as semiconductors, coating, medical, aerospace, etc.

Niobium targets can be used to manufacture semiconductor devices such as transistors, integrated circuits, and flat panel displays. Niobium products have good chemical stability and conductivity, and can play a good role in mask and conductivity during semiconductor manufacturing, ensuring the stability and reliability of devices.

Niobium targets can be used as a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating material for surface treatment of materials such as metals and ceramics, forming a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant protective layer. Niobium products exhibit good film-forming performance and chemical stability during the coating process, which can improve the hardness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance of the coating.

Niobium targets are used in medical equipment, such as artificial joints, dental materials, etc. Niobium products have good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and fatigue performance, which can effectively improve the safety and reliability of medical equipment.

Niobium target materials are widely used in the aerospace field, such as in the manufacturing of rocket engine nozzles, high-temperature alloys, and so on. Niobium products have good high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, and exhibit good stability and reliability in extreme environments.
