6. High pure Niobium Industrialisation means - Quality Assurance - Stable Production - Serial Quantities - Continious Production runs - Planning Reliability Seite 6

7. High pure Niobium - Quality Assurance Seite 7

8. High pure Niobium - Stable Production Melting and processing of about 80 t/a of NbZr1% for the lighting industry Seite 8

9. High pure Niobium - Serial Quantities - Continious Production runs - Planning Reliability Not given for Nb RRR applications Waiting for X-FEL and ILC The industry is still waiting for years, but hopefully it will start now. Seite 9

10. High pure Niobium Alternative Production Ways - backextruding of seamless tubes and HOM coupler housing Seite 10

11. High pure Niobium Alternative Production Ways - large grain discs direct cut from Ingot Seite 11

12. High pure Niobium Alternative Production Ways - NbZr1% as alternative material for NbTi flanges Seite 12 mm

13. High pure Niobium Alternative Production Ways - definition of the right steps in the production chain HOM coupler housing, at the moment are machined at last step after backexdruding and are machined as first step as preparation for the welding Seite 13

14. High pure Niobium Alternative Production Ways - definition of the right steps in the production chain it would save material to do the „T“ connecting at long tubes, not cutted to the final length Seite 14

15. High pure Niobium Alternative Production Ways - is intermediate annealing needed ? it would fit for the cavity performance to do only the final annealing at the finished cavity Seite 15
