Tantalum Ta can be found in Columbite, and Tantalite. Tantalum is used for medical applications because it's biologically inert, is the latest material for capacitors in integrated circuits and is used to improve structural integrity in turbine blades. We have good sources for new and recovered tantalum which we supply as ingots or scrap.
Almost all household items and electronic devices contain Tantalum since it is used to produce high-performance capacitors, the components used in everyday electronic devices. Steel Emporium is stockist & supplier of Highest Quality Pure Tantalum materials in many forms including: Tantalum Block, Rod, Bar, Strip, Sheet, Plate, Wire, Cube, Crucibles and Ingots.
Tantalum has a wide range of specific applications. Its principal characteristics including high melting point, strength, flexibility, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity make it useful in the following areas:
Aerospace: alloy in turbine blades
Electronics: electrolytic capacitors
Medical: used in surgical applications due to its inert nature
Nuclear: reactor mechanismsTantalum has high melting and boiling points and excellent corrosion resistance, and is non toxic to the human body. It has the highest capacitance per volume of any substance. It is very malleable and ductile, with high formability and weldability.HIGH CAPACITANCE
The capacitance per volume of tantalum is the greatest of any substances.
Tantalum is almost completely immune to chemical attack at temperatures below 150°C, and is attacked only by some acids.
Only a few other elements like tungsten, carbon, osmium and rhenium have higher melting points than tantalum’s 3017 degrees Celsius.
At 5455 degrees C Tantalum also has a very high boiling point, one of the highest amongst metals.Tantalum has excellent thermal conduction.
