Tantalum Sheet and Plates

Tantalum Sheet and Plates

Amardeep Steel is a top supplier of high-quality tantalum sheets and plates. We recommend ordering specific sizes to minimize waste, and we can cut materials to precise dimensions. Tantalum sheets vary in performance, so it's important to share your application needs with us.

Our tantalum is known for its corrosion resistance, high density, and high melting point, making it ideal for heat exchangers and vessels handling corrosive chemicals. We also offer a Tantalum 2.5% Tungsten alloy for applications like magnetic and radiation shielding in military and medical technologies. For stamping shapes or cups from tantalum, we customize the material for optimal performance. Tantalum is commonly used in high-temperature vacuum furnaces, where we provide grain-stabilized options to extend its lifespan.

Our high-purity sputtering plates are engineered for superior performance, and tantalum is used in various applications, including capacitors, nuclear reactors, aircraft parts, surgical implants, and more. Tantalum sheets are produced through cold processing, rolled into thin plates, and annealed in a vacuum, with careful handling to prevent scratches. Tantalum sheets and plates are made from heavy, hard, and ductile metal with a dark blue-gray color. They are highly resistant to corrosion, especially against chemicals at temperatures below 150°C, and can only be dissolved with hydrofluoric acid.

Tantalum also has a high melting point and can form very thin protective oxide layers, which makes it ideal for use in high-quality capacitors. This unique combination of properties makes tantalum an excellent material for various industrial applications.

Applications of Tantalum Sheets

FAQ

Is tantalum better than titanium?

Titanium is a popular metal for jewelry because it is lightweight, stylish, and durable. In terms of strength, titanium and tantalum are similar. Both are scratch-resistant, with tantalum being slightly more so, and neither dents easily. Overall, they have comparable strength.

What is the use of a tantalum sheet?

Tantalum sheets are used for insulation barriers in vacuum furnaces due to their high melting point and oxidation resistance. They are also ideal for making surgical instruments and implants, as they resist body fluids and are non irritating.

Does tantalum scratch easily?

Tantalum is highly durable and scratch-resistant, ranking below diamond but above metals like gold and silver on the Mohs scale of hardness. This means that tantalum can withstand daily wear and tear, keeping its finish intact.

Is tantalum heavier than steel?

Yes, tantalum is heavier than steel, with a density of about 16.6 grams per cubic centimeter. This makes it denser than metals like titanium or stainless steel. For example, a typical men's wedding band made from tantalum can weigh between 10 to 20 grams, depending on its design and size.
