Used in high-temperature applications due to excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Commonly employed in vacuum furnace components, heating elements, and as support wires in cryogenic systems. Serves as a raw material in superconducting alloys, especially in niobium-tin and niobium-titanium wires for MRI magnets and particle accelerators. Its high purity and small diameter make it suitable for precision electronic devices and semiconductor research. Also utilized in chemical processing equipment for its corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.
