Home > Niobium Pipes
For high-performance, specialized applications, Vipul Pipes and Tubes, a reputable manufacturer and supplier in Chennai, India, provides premium Niobium pipes. Refractory metal niobium (Nb) is prized for its exceptional strength at high temperatures, high melting point, and resistance to corrosion. Our niobium pipes are expertly crafted to satisfy the exacting specifications of the chemical processing, electronics, nuclear, and aerospace industries. Even under severe mechanical and thermal stress, these pipes show outstanding formability and weldability. Applications needing lightweight materials with exceptional resistance to harsh chemicals and high-temperature oxidation are best served by Vipul’s niobium piping solutions.
Depending on the grade (e.g., R04200 or R04210), niobium pipes are usually made up of 99.9% pure niobium with trace amounts of tungsten, tantalum, and other elements. With a melting point of 2,468°C, niobium exhibits exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly in alkalis and acids like hydrofluoric acid. Even at cryogenic temperatures, it retains its ductility and has a tensile strength between 275 and 450 MPa. Niobium is perfect for high-temperature, high-purity, and critical settings because it is non-magnetic, biocompatible, and has good thermal and electrical conductivity.

Because of their exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability, niobium pipes are widely used in high-tech industries. Particle accelerators, jet engine parts, medical devices, superconductor systems (when alloyed), nuclear reactor components (cladding and coolant systems), and chemical process equipment subjected to harsh conditions are examples of common applications. Niobium is utilized in electronics for thin-film deposition and capacitor-grade tubing. It is also appropriate for prosthetics and surgical implants due to its non-toxic and biocompatible qualities. The metal’s dependability in the most demanding and corrosive service applications is guaranteed by its capacity to withstand embrittlement and preserve structural integrity in the face of extreme circumstances.
