Niobium is almost a miracle element, it increases the heat stability of super alloys and as little as 0.02% Niobium increases the structural strength of steel quite dramatically. It also has amazing superconductive and magnetic properties.
Definitely one of the best science channels on TH-cam. Instead of just reading from Wikipedia and recording his face, he uses his own footage from his own experiments.
You can read any scientific article... 1) you can go to a university and ask to retrieve the article through their subscription, they usually have one internally 2) you can use secondary publishing routes where the article might be found, such as arXiv, citeseerX and researcher's homepage 3) you can mail the original researchers and ask for it - if they performed the work on public funding, then it's in public domain, and they have no reason to refuse you 4) if all else fails, there's sci-hub I'm a bit miffed about the clickbaity title though. Main use of gold is technical, where its inertness is of particular value, that it's soft and will not oxidise. But if niobium oxidises, then it's not a viable replacement.
google TSP-PF MSDS for the safety datasheet. It is a phosphate free preparation with a - supposedly - similar cleaning effect as the orginal TSP product
Borat is right, one ounce of Niobium can make $1700 worth of earrings, equal to one ounce of gold. One ounce of gold can make $5000 worth of earrings, so gold wins again.
Tantalum has been used for falsifying gold, it's so dense. You take tantalum and maybe a bit of platinum in the right proportions to get the same density as gold, and then gold plate the whole thing, though it would be far easier to use tungsten since it is almost the same density as gold already and you would need very little platinum. This is what you can expect to get if you buy gold bullion from China btw.
Niobium, or columbium, is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Nb (formerly Cb) and atomic number 41. Niobium is a light grey, crystalline, and ductile transition metal. Pure niobium has a Mohs hardness rating similar to pure titanium, and it has similar ductility to iron. Niobium oxidizes in Earth's atmosphere very slowly, hence its application in jewelry as a hypoallergenic alternative to nickel. Niobium is often found in the minerals pyrochlore and columbite, hence the former name "columbium". Its name comes from Greek mythology: Niobe, daughter of Tantalus, the namesake of tantalum. The name reflects the great similarity between the two elements in their physical and chemical properties, which makes them difficult to distinguish.
lmao I got a notification on this video that “some users found this content to be offensive” perhaps science has become a topic of offense nowadays to the younger, easily offended generation. Keep up the great vids👍
I've never thought of using a paint brush in that way. Absolute genius. Please repeat this kind of experiment with different kinds of brushes. I'm interested in seeing if a larger, rough bristle brush will give the metal a 'brushed' effect caused by the solution. Also another idea, change the voltage while you're doing the spot coloring, and see if you can get a nice gradient of color from dot to dot.
Cool video! I really like what you made, what beautiful colors! I have some nice piercing jewelry made from niobium, some anodized in colors, some charcoal. I prefer it over stainless steel, but it doesn't hold a thread well, so you can't screw two pieces together.
As many countries have learned through painful lessons and great human suffering, it's by far the least bad method of ensuring that people get what they need. Besides being baked deeply into our DNA.
Very cool experiment. I wonder if the cost of processing and making this metal would be worth it or just as costly as real gold once it's all said and done. Not by the value of the metal but just purely for the cost that goes into the refining and production process. Would be interesting to see the comparison.
In my travels I have encountered these metals in the aerospace field and in my hobby of knifemaking. In aerospace tantalum is used where high resistance to corrosion is needed. Tantalum can stand up to several of the most powerful acids. The other is niobium used in knife steel to make niobium carbides in the knife steel CPM S35VN. This is a superior knife steel when properly heat treated.
"TSP phosphate free" I used to use this stuff for welding. You spray it on the weldment and it is meant to prevent dingle berries (tiny drips of molten iron that sticks to the thing you are welding) It never worked very well, but on the can it said "non toxic" but under the warnings it said "harmful or fatal if swallowed"

Glad to see there is some commercial uses for Niobium based products. Sometimes the change from the laboratory to the marketplace is very hard. Making very small amounts of materials for research in the laboratory is far easier than the production of that item on a massive, industrial scale to make products that people could have use for, and, making a product cheap enough for people buy it. Seems there is more use for Niobium for large commercial or industrial applications than consumer products.
Simply fascinating! Should rename your video: Everything You Need to Know About Niobium in Ten Minutes. I also learned a great deal about electroplating so a double thank you is in order.
We are the only company who builds parts of (vortex) showerheads out of Niob(ium). We think it has also a therapeutical and/or balancing effect and combine it with crystals and other metals. When we initially researched Niob we were very positively surprised about its advantages and usages.
I love this effort put in to make these videos. I love the fact that I can learn so many things from you. Lastly, I love your voice! What will you do when there are no more elements?

Thank you for sharing this level of knowledge, your channel is super interesting and your accent is great, I understand everything you say! Greetings from Argentina 💜
Plazor Yeah but it won't cost like gold so its useless to invest money. I was hoping that it will have similar properties of gold that could be used scientifically but turns out its only just color.
Its to make for example jewelery look gold. Or make machinery look gold. Why would you need something as soft as gold for? Also gold would probably lose its cost.
Probably because of electrical experiments with voltage higher than 50 Volt DC (considered limit between low/high-voltage systems). 50 Volt DC or less is only mildly annoying on dry skin, whereas higher voltages can be dangerous or lethal, as they can induce heart failure.
In scandinavia nobody is tinkering with things any more. If you do you either get the police on your neck for braking the law or regulations of traffic, radio frequencies, electicity or chemicals. If you even can get the chemicals legaly. Anyway they are going to jail you for attempted terrorism. Post modern western society rather wants you to have sex on a reality show.
You can also do the same thing with titanium, I used help a local jeweller do almost the exact same process with titanium. Instead of painting with the electrified brush; We would do the first anodisation, then paint/mask the areas with nail polish(enamel paint) and then do a second submerged anodisation. Then you just remove the nail polish with acetone. Sorry I don't remember the electrolyte used - it was possibly borax... maybe some potassium nitrate?
I feel with you about the internet research - it happened to me so many times endlessly searching forums, then finally finding the holy grail article, that is behind a paywall.

Instead of using Borax (sodium tetraborate), I've heard you should use washing soda (sodium carbonate) as the first choice for electrolyte. Even baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) works but not as good as wash soda.

Bolsoniobio
flavio luiz, não entendi?
gux meu no Br temos um certo tabu com niobio, pq algumas pessoas acabam achando que é um metal super caro e que vendemos barato, mas na verdade é um metal com poucos usos no mercado e tem o valor que deve ter.
Flavio Luiz não é questão de ter poucas funções e sim que a maior reserva é a do Brasil ou seja não vai ter concorrência ainda bem que bolsonaro ganhou vamos ver oque ele vai fazer a respeito
Instead of using Borax (sodium tetraborate), I've heard you should use washing soda (sodium carbonate) as the first choice for electrolyte. Even baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) works but not as good as wash soda.
