Tantalum Pipe & Tubes

Product Details:

Tantalum tubes are defined based on their characteristics. These properties include outside diameter, inside diameter, wall thickness, purity, and temper. The function varies of a tantalum differs based on these properties. The price is also determined by the same properties, as tubes that are wider and can be used for thicker walls tend to be more expensive.

Tantalum tubes are popular for manufacturing due to the unique properties of the tantalum metal that is used to make the tubes. When looking for tantalum tubes, it is important to have a good understanding of the nature of the metal. A pure tantalum metal is shiny, silvery colored, heavy, malleable, dense and ductile. The pure type is usually obtained in tiny quantities in other minerals, and most probable together with niobium. Tantalum is obtained by isolating through conversion to an oxide and then performing electrolysis of the fluoro-complex to obtain a pure metal.

The metal is exceptionally corrosion resistant because it forms an oxide film that prevents any form of reaction. Tantalum does not also react to acid attacks except for the case of HF. Tantalum has been used as a substitute for platinum when making laboratory apparatus due to its high corrosion resistance. It however reacts with fused alkalis as well as several other non-metals if exposed to very high temperatures. Since body fluids do not react with tantalum, it has also been used to make surgical implants without cases of rejection.

Tantalum tubes are used in various industries due to these properties such as the chemical industry to assemble plants. They are also used for electronics to manufacture different equipments such as lamp filaments, rectifiers, capacitors, and other equipments. Tantalum systems have also found applications for vacuum systems because tantalum has high rate of absorption for residual gases.

Product Details:

Tantalum is a rare, heavy metal that has many industrial applications. It is used in the production of high-end electronics and medical equipment, as well as in aerospace engineering. While tantalum has many advantages, it also has some drawbacks that need to be considered before using it. One of the main advantages of using tantalum is its extreme corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in corrosive environments. This makes it a perfect choice for medical equipment, aerospace engineering, and other industries where corrosion resistance is important. Additionally, tantalum is highly malleable and ductile, which can easily be formed into various shapes or designs without breaking or cracking. This makes it an ideal material for precision parts such as microchips or complex components. Furthermore, tantalum retains its strength even at very high temperatures, making it suitable for use in high-temperature applications.

High melting point :- Tantalum has a very high melting point, making it ideal for use in high-temperature applications.

Corrosion resistant :- Tantalum is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in corrosive environments.

Low density :- Tantalum has a very low density, making it ideal for use in lightweight applications.

Non-magnetic :- Tantalum is non-magnetic, making it ideal for use in applications where magnetic materials are not desired.

Biocompatible :- Tantalum is biocompatible, making it ideal for use in medical implants and other medical devices.
