The Chinese are well set with their niobium. The second largest niobium producer in Brazil is a Chinese company named China Molybdenum. From Wikipedia: special steel such as that used in gas pipelines . Although these alloys contain a maximum of 0.1%, the small percentage of niobium enhances the strength of the steel by scavenging carbide and nitride. jet and rocket engines .various superconducting materials . These alloys, also containing titanium and tin, are widely used in the superconducting magnets of MRI scanners . welding, nuclear industries, electronics, optics, numismatics, and jewellery . Niobium is considered a technology-critical element
