Technical Specifications and Material Properties
Tantalum metal stands among the most resilient materials available, with a melting point of 3017°C and density of 16.69 g/cm³. This refractory metal demonstrates remarkable corrosion resistance across nearly the entire pH spectrum, remaining stable in environments where stainless steel and titanium fail. Our tantalum products conform to international metallurgical standards, with documented material certifications verifying chemical composition, mechanical properties, and processing methods.
The material's oxide layer formation provides self-healing corrosion protection, critical for chemical process equipment operating under continuous acid exposure. Tantalum maintains structural integrity under thermal cycling, mechanical stress, and radiation exposure, making it indispensable for nuclear reactor components and space exploration hardware. Its electrical conductivity and dielectric properties enable miniaturized energy storage solutions, while biocompatibility ensures safe integration in orthopedic implants and cardiovascular devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What purity grades of tantalum are available?
A: We supply tantalum in purity grades ranging from 99.95% to 99.99%, with higher purity options available for specialized electronics and medical applications. Material certification documents provide complete chemical analysis for traceability.
Q: How does tantalum compare to niobium for corrosion resistance?
A: While both metals offer excellent corrosion resistance, tantalum demonstrates superior performance in concentrated acids and high-temperature chemical environments. Tantalum forms a more stable oxide layer and maintains integrity in sulfuric acid concentrations where niobium may degrade.
Q: What are typical lead times for custom tantalum components?
A: Standard product forms typically ship within 7-14 business days. Custom machined parts require 3-6 weeks depending on complexity, with expedited processing available for urgent requirements. Contact our production team for project-specific timelines.
Q: Can tantalum be welded or joined to other metals?
A: Tantalum can be welded using TIG, electron beam, or laser welding in inert atmospheres. It bonds effectively with niobium, platinum, and certain steel alloys when proper surface preparation and joining parameters are employed. Our technical staff provides guidance on recommended joining methods for your application.
