Pure Niobium Plate - 952g 140 x 127 x 6 mm 4N 99.99 pure

It weighs 952 grams (2.1 pounds), measures 5 x 5.5 x 1/4 inches. This is almost a kilo of pure niobium from latin america. What a deal.

You can use it for anything from jewelry to a particle accelerator. Element 41, originally named Columbium. It is used in small quantities as an alloying agent for steel. Larger percentages are used for superalloys such as C-103 for rocket engines and cryogenic applications that require performance under extreme conditions. In pure form, this plate can be cut, machined, rolled, and/or melted. When you get it you may think it's titanium, but when you hold it, it feels very heavy for its size and that's how you know it's a dense metal. It has a hint of blue and has a mysterious iridescence.
