All About Found Materials

The use of metal is an integral part of human development. Historical periods such as the Iron and Bronze Ages are called that because new technologies allowed people to use these metals to make tools, weapons, jewellery, and other items. Today, metals are all around us—from construction and machinery manufacturing to microscopic components in electronics and medical fields. Science is constantly searching for new ways to use the Earth’s elements more efficiently. Our team strives to extract these elements more effectively and return them to production from metal-containing waste.

Niobium

Niobium (Lat. Niobium) is a rare metal found in volcanic rocks across various parts of the world. It is distinguished by its malleability and ductility and exhibits excellent conductivity with regard to both heat and electricity. The melting point of niobium is 2468°C, while its boiling point is 4927°C.

The overwhelming majority of niobium mined globally is consumed by the steel industry for the production of high-quality alloys. Such alloys are employed in a number of industrial sectors, including automotive manufacturing, energy production, and aviation. In some cases, a single car engine may contain up to 1 kg of niobium.

Additionally, niobium (chemical symbol Nb) is used in the fabrication of superconductors, which are devices capable of conducting electric current without any resistance. Superconductors are utilised in contemporary technological apparatus, including magnetic resonance imaging machines and particle accelerators. Niobium can also be found in the components of various everyday electronic devices (for instance, capacitors). However, in these instances, the amounts of niobium used are very small.
