Metals and alloys for nuclear energy There are two important ways in the making of nuclear energy: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Fusion and fission have a different working mechanisms‚ thus other materials are used. In a nuclear reactor fuel rods are bombarded with neutrons causing fission of the fuel. This way energy is released. With this energy water is heated to steam and with the use of heat exchangers and steam turbines electricity is generated. As fuel is usually uranium used‚ but also

promotes its use in the nuclear industry‚ especially in control rods of nuclear reactors. The prices of niobium are reasonable too‚ at a mere $75/lb‚ and are maintained by the largest producer to avoid market perception of a monopoly situation (Winter). Thus‚ niobium acts as a key element in nuclear fission reactors‚ due to its enormous strength‚ high melting point‚ resistance to corrosive chemicals‚ and low neutron absorption. Generally‚ niobium is incorporated into nuclear fission reactors due to
