Processing of columbite-tantalite ores and concentrates for niobium and niobium compounds in electronic applications

International Symposium Niobium 2001

2002
Eckert, Joachim
A small percentage of Niobium and Niobium compounds produced in the world is being used in sofisticated electronic components and systems, such as capacitors, piezoelectric devices and optical circuits. This paper briefly describes the outline of the production process of these materials and their main characteristics. (AU)

Development of High Chromium Ferritic Steels Strengthened by Intermetallic Phases
The Charles Hatchett Award is important to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. Introduced over 40 years ago, The Charles Hatchett Award is a prestigious recognition that aims to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. The award is sponsored by CBMM | Niobium and recognizes the best published research on the science and technology of Niobium. The annual award brings together technical experts worldwide, and a panel of international experts selects the winning paper. The 2015 Charles Hatchett Award winners’ presentation introduces the worldwide energy demand and steam oxidation resistance and creep strength in stainless steels. The main research goal of this paper is to explore the development of high chromium ferritic steels strengthened by intermetallic phases and the role of niobium in thermomechanical treatment, microstructure and mechanical properties, in high-performance ferritic steels.

How much niobium can I use?
The amount of Niobium we can practically use during the hot rolling of steel products is mainly dependent on the carbon and nitrogen contents of the steel and the furnace reheating and drop-out temperature of the cast product prior to rolling.
