Ferroniobium is also called FeNb, ferroniobium is familiar to other popular ferroalloys(Ferromolybdenum, Ferrovanadium, Ferronickel), they are alloy additives in the steelmaking industry, and it can improve the strength of steel and corrosion resistance, and at the same time, it also used as the produce of super alloy and high-temperature alloy, etc.
Common shapes of ferroniobium
Common shapes of ferroniobium are Ferroniobium block, Ferroniobium powder and Ferroniobium flake
How to distinguish the Ferroniobium
- The appearence of Ferroniobium is smooth with the silvery white luster, but maybe due to the Oxidation, Some ferroniobium may have rust on the surface, If necessary, you can clean it with a brush.
- Ferroniobium has magnetic. if you Magnet for adsorption of ferroniobium, If there is adsorption, it is ferroniobium; if not, it is not ferroniobium.
- Chemical properties of ferroniobium. Ferroniobium is generally composed of niobium, iron, silicon, and other impurities. It can be identified by analyzing the chemical composition.

Ferroniobium uses
Application in steel. Niobium iron is used as an alloy additive in steelmaking. Adding an appropriate amount of niobium iron to molten steel can effectively refine the grains, improve the strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of steel. So in the fields of automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, bridge engineering, etc.
Application in high-end material manufacturing. In addition to being used as an alloy additive in steel, niobium iron can also be used to make high-temperature alloys and superalloys. These products can be used in aerospace, nuclear energy, and chemical industries because of their high temperature and corrosion resistance.
Ferro Niobium price
As a precious metal, the price of niobium iron varies due to many factors. According to Mysteel Daily on January 10, 2024, the price of Brazilian niobium iron 65 is 240,000-242,000 yuan/ton, and the actual transaction price is 239,000 yuan/ton. Mysteel Daily on December 13, 2023 showed that Brazilian niobium iron traders quoted niobium iron 65 at 238,000-240,000 yuan/ton, and the actual transaction price was 237,000 yuan/ton.
