Niobium Nickel Alloy Foil Description
The Niobium Nickel Alloy Foil demonstrates corrosion resistance when exposed to various chemicals, including some strong acids and bases. It is used in applications that require prolonged operation in chemically aggressive environments. The foil retains its physical and chemical properties at elevated temperatures and does not deform or melt easily. Consequently, it is applied in high‐temperature processes. The Niobium Nickel Alloy Foils possess strength and hardness that meet the specified requirements and withstand mechanical loads as defined in the technical standards. They exhibit adequate toughness and ductility, which allows for straightforward fabrication during production. The foil shows electrical and thermal conductivity that satisfies the demands in the electronics and energy sectors.
