Niobium does not rust in the same way that iron does because it does not form iron oxide when exposed to moisture and oxygen. Instead, niobium forms a stable oxide layer that protects it from further corrosion. This property makes niobium highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation, even in harsh environments. Therefore, while niobium can oxidize, it does not rust like ferrous metals.
