Being sick of using molybdenum, with its extreme oxygen sensitivity, and
poring over a periodic table, it looks like Niobium might make a good
material for high temperature furnace radiaion shields - up to 1750 C
Does niobium react less with O2 ? I haven't seen anything taht says its
worse than moly, and I suspect (only suspect) its better
Would anyone confirm or deny its suitabiility please ?
Thanks !
