Rods

NIOBIUM RODS

The rods are delivered as agreed in soft (wrought) or hard (not wrought) forms.

Chemical composition of the rods (except C, O, N, H) is identical of chemical compound of ingots.

Roughness of turned rods RZ 40.

As agreed it is possible to deliver rods of other sizes

Field of application:

Rocket manufacturing, aeronautical and radio engineering, electronics, chemical apparatus building, atomic engineering. Details of flight vehicle; jackets for uranium and plutonium fuel elements; containers and tubes for molten metals; details of electric condensers; «hot» fitting of electric and powerful generating tubes; corrosion-proof equipment in chemical industry. Niobium is used in cryotrons – superconducting elements of computers.

Appearance:

Rod should be without camberss, cracks, barbs, laminations or any other defects, which could affect on future use.
