Great for Golf Ball markers! Niobium is a grayish rare earth metal often used in jewelry due to it being hypoallergenic. It is slightly more valuable than silver despite not being a “precious metal”. Niobium does not tarnish or patina. This is a unique metal perfect for your high end customers that works well as a coin metal.
Anodizing: Can NOT be colored using heat like titanium can. But similar to titanium it does electro anodize very well.
Laser Engraving: Engraves depth 2x faster than titanium. Can get a dark gray/black mark using similar in focus settings that you would use to black mark stainless steel. Edge burrs sand off easily with wet sand paper. Very difficult to polish but sanding leave a nice matte (non reflective) finish.
