Niobium (Nb)

Niobium (Nb)

Though most metallurgists refer to the metal as 'columbium' the name 'niobium' ([Kr]4d45s1) (CAS 7440-03-1) was officially adopted by chemical authorities in 1950 after 100 years of controversy. Niobium is steel-gray or silvery-white but takes on a bluish tint when exposed to air at room temperatures for extended periods. The metal's oxidation in air commences at 200°C. Niobium, when used in alloying, improves strength, and its superconductive properties are enhanced when combined with zirconium.
