Niobium refractory alloys — data sheet
Niobium, also termed columbium, is a shiny grey metal that takes on a bluish tinge when exposed to air at room temperature. Due to its low-capture cross section for thermal neutrons, niobium — available from Ed Fagan — is suitable for applications in the nuclear industry. Other applications include capacitors, superconducting magnets, steel additives, reactors and optics.

Nickel-iron alloys are not hardenable by heat treatment. The alloys can be made harder though cold working only. The annealed hardness for these alloys is generally in the range of RB 70/80. Material in the annealed condition will be more difficult to machine because it is soft and gummy. The tools tend to plow the metal instead of cutting into it and do not easily form chips. Surface scale oxide is tightly adherent and penetrates the surface to a greater extent than stainless steels. ...
