Niobium Tech

The stainless steel industry has been quite dynamic on the development of innovative, disruptive solutions over the past decades. One of the challenges faced by this industry are problems related to the sensitization effect, leading to intergranular corrosion. Outokumpu has just announced the new Therma 4622Nb®️, a high-chromium ferritic stainless steel with smart #Niobium alloying to be used in extreme temperature environments. The effect of Niobium plays a pivotal role in creating a fixing effect and avoiding creep problems, losses in mechanical properties, and other destructive effects on end applications.
