Do you have a question about the application metals in your production process?
What is ASTM B392?
The standard ASTM B392 specifies the requirements for niobium and niobium alloys in the form of bars, rods, and wires. This specification includes provisions for chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and surface finish. The products are manufactured through melting or powder metallurgical processes and supplied in straight lengths or coils, depending on the desired application.
ASTM B392 is applied worldwide to ensure the quality and reliability of niobium products in applications exposed to high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stress. The standard provides a solid foundation for consistent product quality in demanding industrial environments.
Niobium alloys
What is ASTM B392 used for?
Material Properties
Niobium produced according to ASTM B392 is renowned for its high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, and good workability. The material retains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures and offers stability in long-term thermally demanding conditions. In alloy form, such as niobium-zirconium, its structural strength is further enhanced, while maintaining ductility and creep resistance. This combination of properties makes the material reliable in applications where structural integrity under extreme conditions is required.
Industrial Application
Materials compliant with ASTM B392 are frequently used in sectors where high performance is required under extreme conditions. Typical applications include:
-
Components for high-temperature furnaces and heat exchangers
-
Electronic parts and semiconductor equipment
-
Chemical process equipment and reactors
-
Aerospace applications where lightweight and high strength are required
The combination of thermal stability, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance makes niobium according to ASTM B392 a reliable choice for critical industrial applications.
