WorldWide Market

Niobium acts as a grain refiner and hardener when utilized in specialty steel, providing alloys with enhanced corrosion resistance at extremely high temperatures. These are mainly the high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel grades and also stainless and heat resistant steel which are required in the oil, automotive and construction industries as well as on offshore platforms and structures. Niobium's special properties have established new important applications in superconductors, space vehicles and nuclear engineering. From its headquarters in São Paulo, Catalão's marketing department is in constant communication with a wide network of agents and distributors enabling them to provide services ever responsive to customers' needs.
