Iron Niobium 50

brief introduction

Ferroniobium FeNb50 is a master alloy composed primarily of niobium and iron, with a typical niobium content of 50-60%. It serves as an effective and cost-efficient niobium additive in steelmaking and foundry industries, providing significant grain refinement and precipitation strengthening to improve strength, toughness, and weldability of various steel grades.
