About NioCorp
NioCorp is developing a superalloy materials
project in Southeast Nebraska that will produce Niobium, Scandium,
and Titanium. Niobium is used to produce superalloys as well as
High Strength, Low Alloy ("HSLA") steel, which is a lighter,
stronger steel used in automotive, structural, and pipeline
applications. Scandium is a superalloy material that can be
combined with Aluminum to make alloys with increased strength and
improved corrosion resistance. Scandium also is a critical
component of advanced solid oxide fuel cells. Titanium is
used in various superalloys and is a key component of pigments used
in paper, paint and plastics and is also used for aerospace
applications, armor and medical implants.
