Metal Powder

Tantalum powder is a hard, grey and ductile metal. It can be converted into a wire shape in its pure form. Tantalum oxide films exhibit some properties for instance dielectric as well as good rectifying. These are very stable and become very reactive at high temperatures.  This makes tantalum capacitors interesting for portable electronics such as mobile phones.

Tantalum perceives use in different areas, for instance, high-temperature applications, such as aircraft engines; electrical devices, such as capacitors. It has also applications in surgical implants and handling corrosive chemicals. Tantalum powder resists corrosion and is almost impermeable to chemical attack, for this reason, it has been utilized in the chemical industry, e.g. for heat exchanger in boilers where strong acids are vaporized.

One of the major uses of Tantalum powder is in the production of electronic components. On the surface of tantalum, an oxide layer is formed can act as an insulating (dielectric) layer. Because tantalum can be utilized to coat other metals with a very thin layer, a high capacitance can be attained in a small volume. It is rarely applied as an alloying agent due to it tends to make metals brittle.

Tantalum powder shows resistant nature to corrosion and so is employed in equipment for handling corrosive materials. It has also found utilizes as electrodes for neon lights, AC/DC rectifiers and in glass for special lenses. Tantalum alloys can be extremely strong and have been utilized for turbine blades, rocket nozzles and nose caps for supersonic aircraft. Its remarkable resistance coupled with its excellent formability and weldability makes tantalum the perfect material for heat exchangers. Our tantalum heat exchangers are extraordinarily stable and resistant to a range of aggressors.

Tantalum powder is utilized in the fabrication of reactor coatings, heat exchangers and pipelines. Because of its particularly fine microstructure, tantalum is the perfect material for drawing ultra-slender wires with a flawless. During the production of tools and cutting steels that comprise carbides, tantalum and niobium carbide are added to escalate performance and stability.
