Product Name
Niobium single crystal, 11-12mm (0.43-0.47in) dia, 100mm (3.9in) long, (110) orientation, zone refined
Application
The niobium single crystal, with dimensions of 11-12mm in diameter and 100mm in length, and an (110) orientation, is a specialized product designed for advanced applications requiring high purity and structural precision. This zone-refined crystal capitalizes on niobium's unique properties, such as its ductility, malleability, and chemical resistance, which make it ideal for use in environments demanding superior material performance. Due to its inert nature under various chemical conditions and its ability to withstand high temperatures, niobium is valuable in fields such as superconductivity, electronics, and metallurgy. Its historical significance as a transition metal which was initially discovered in the early 19th century and its role in modern technological applications further underscore this product's purpose. The niobium single crystal is intended for research and industrial use where material integrity and exceptional quality are paramount.
