TUV Tantalum Foils Ribbon Ta1 Ta2 Tantalum Strip ASTM B708

99.99% Pure Tantalum Wires, Foils and other Machining Parts for Vacuum Furnace Components

Product Description

Tantalum strip/foils are often deformed very well even far below room temperature. Whether for punching, cutting, deep drawing, or pressing: you'll be able to machine our tantalum strip/foils without difficulty to meet your specific needs. Tantalum is significantly corrosion resistant. Acids and bases cannot damage our strip/foils. Strip/Foils fabricated from tantalum are used for instance within the chemical industry for water purification or as a diffusion barrier in x-ray machines.

Tantalum is a chemical element represented by the symbol Ta and the atomic number is 73. Formerly known as tantalum, it is named after Tantalus, a Greek mythological villain. Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant, rare, strong, blue-grey, lustrous transition metal. It is part of the group of refractory metals that, in alloys, are commonly used as minor components. In Sweden, Tantalum was discovered in 1802 by Anders Ekeberg.

Tantalum is also used to manufacture a variety of alloys with a high melting point, strength, and ductility. It is also used in the manufacture of carbide tools for metalworking equipment and the manufacture of superalloys for components of jet engines, chemical process equipment, nuclear reactors, missile parts, heat exchangers, tanks, and vessels. Tantalum can be drawn into fine wires or filaments that are used for evaporating metals such as aluminium because of its ductility. Tantalum is commonly used in making surgical instruments and implants because it prevents attack by body fluids and is non-irritating.
