Niobium pipes are soft-grey and ductile products. Niobium pipes are grey in colour with high-strength and conductivity. Niobium is a transition element with less electro-positivity. It is also more compact, when compared to zirconium. Niobium pipes have similar chemical properties to that of tantalum. These Titanium pipes are highly reactive to non-metals at high-temperatures. These pipes also react to fluorine at room temperature. The availability of Niobium is high and the cost is low, making it usable for less demanding applications.

Niobium pipes become superconductors at cryogenic temperatures. The critical temperature of these pipes is the highest of any elemental superconductor. Addition of niobium to super alloys offer stability and makes them usable in jet and rocket engines. Niobium is also used in optics, electronics, numismatics and nuclear industry. When added with steel, the properties of steel enhance making it usable in gas pipelines. Niobium is also used in small quantities in cobalt, nickel andiron based super alloys. It is used in rocket assemblies, gas turbines, turbo chargers, heat resistors and combustion equipment.
