Product NBH0050 is an ingot produced from a niobium–hafnium alloy.

Description of Niobium-Hafnium Alloy Bars

Niobium-Hafnium Alloy Bars are produced from an alloy consisting of Niobium and Hafnium. They exhibit mechanical properties that meet the strict requirements of the aerospace, nuclear and semiconductor industries. Their resistance to corrosion and capacity for ductility under high temperatures permits the manufacture of components for demanding operational environments. The bars meet required strength specifications and resist oxidation and thermal loads. Stanford Advanced Materials manufactures Niobium-Hafnium Alloy Bars that comply with specified requirements for precision and long-life operation in critical applications.

Applications of Niobium-Hafnium Alloy Bars

1. Aerospace: They are used to manufacture engine components operating at high temperatures, including turbine blades and combustion chamber liners for jet engines and rocket propulsion systems.

2. Nuclear Industry: They are employed in reactor components, such as control rods and reactor vessels, given the alloy’s elevated melting point and resistance to neutron radiation.

3. Semiconductor Manufacturing: They are utilised in semiconductor equipment, including crucibles and heating elements, due to high-temperature stability and chemical corrosion resistance.

4. High-Temperature Furnaces: They are applied in the production of specialised alloys and ceramics in furnaces for use in the aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors.

5. Medical Devices: They are used in imaging and radiotherapy equipment owing to their capacity to withstand elevated temperatures and radiation exposure.

Packaging of Niobium-Hafnium Alloy Bars

The Niobium-Hafnium Alloy Bars are distinctly labelled to ensure identification and quality control. Measures are taken to prevent damage during storage and transport.
