Joe,

    Thanks to you and Mr. Iorns, this has been a very instructive
    thread. While this one has been going on there was another on using
    the same grinding wheel for aluminum and steel, they, when mixed in
    powdered form will produce thermite. The process of sharpening my
    rock pencils, and my lawn mower blades, I will have to clean that
    grinder before its next use. 

    Look here 
    http://www.cise.columbia.edu/clean/msds/niobium.pdf 

    and here 
    http://www.rembar.com/MSDSni.htm 

    they seem to cover it pretty well for niobium. I don't know how it
    will solder though. 

    Looked at tungsten, (which is what I use as a solder pick, not due
    to super knowledge, just plain old fashioned dumb luck) and Rhenium
    while I was there, very stable, gold would be cheaper for the places
    I found it. :-) Still might try the titanium though, awareness goes a
    long way toward safety. 

Terry
