Home > Niobium Sheet and Plates
Nasir Nickel Alloys, based in Manama, Bahrain, offers premium niobium sheets and plates renowned for their high purity, corrosion resistance, and excellent performance in high-temperature environments. Manufactured to ASTM B393 standards, their niobium products exhibit superior thermal conductivity, malleability, and resistance to chemical attack, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications. Nasir Nickel Alloys ensures precise thickness, width, and length specifications, catering to various engineering, aerospace, nuclear, and chemical processing needs with consistent quality and durability.
Niobium sheets and plates supplied typically have a purity of 99.95%, with grades including pure niobium (UNS R04200), niobium alloyed with zirconium (UNS R04210), and other variations offering enhanced creep resistance and oxidation resistance. These materials have a melting point of about 2468°C, tensile strength around 125 MPa (18000 psi), yield strength near 73 MPa (10500 psi), and elongation of 15-20%, depending on thickness and treatment. Niobium’s body-centered cubic crystal structure provides excellent ductility and machinability, but it requires controlled atmospheres during processing to prevent contamination.
