Niobium makes modern structures safer and more efficient by increasing steel strength and toughness for modern construction and provides greater architectural flexibility.
Leaner niobium structures lower build costs and speed up construction for infrastructure projects like airports and bridges. The efficient use of niobium technology also reduces the overall amount of raw materials required for buildings, making large scale projects economically viable.
Using niobium high strength steels means wind towers can be made taller, lighter and longer lasting, helping to reduce the costs of generating renewable electricity.
