Ashraf Nickel Alloys stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of Niobium Sheets and Plates in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We pride ourselves on providing high-quality materials tailored for advanced engineering and industrial needs. Our Niobium sheets and plates are celebrated for their remarkable corrosion resistance, ductility, and impressive melting point, making them perfect for industries like chemical, aerospace, electronics, and medical. Crafted to meet ASTM, ASME, and international standards, these products come in various thicknesses, finishes, and custom sizes. With a strong focus on quality, precision, and timely delivery, Ashraf Nickel Alloys guarantees that clients receive top-notch niobium products for their essential projects.
Our Niobium Sheets and Plates are made from 99.9% pure niobium, with small amounts of tantalum, titanium, and tungsten to boost performance. They have a density of 8.57 g/cm³ and a melting point of 2,468°C, making them perfect for high-temperature uses. These sheets and plates offer a tensile strength ranging from 275 to 400 MPa, along with excellent ductility, formability, and thermal stability. Niobium’s low thermal neutron absorption cross-section makes it a great fit for nuclear applications, while its outstanding corrosion resistance ensures durability in acidic and chemical environments, even under high temperatures.
