BS>Important chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of niobium and its alloys arc described. These underline the fact that this highly heat- resistant metal has gained more and more importance in the airplane and spaceship industry as well as in chemical processes and nuclear technology during the last decade. The processing characterization (machining, pressing, and welding) are discussed. (GT)
