Niobium is a shiny grey, ductile metal that takes on a bluish tinge when exposed to air at room temperature for extended periods.

Niobium has a number of uses: it is a component of some stainless steels and an alloy of other nonferrous metals. These alloys are strong and are often used in pipe-line construction. The metal has a low capture cross-section for thermal neutrons and so finds use in the nuclear industries. It is also the metal used in arc welding rods for some stabilized grades of stainless steel.
