Tantalum Bars and Rods are made from high-purity tantalum, typically boasting a purity level of 99.95% or higher. They are known for their outstanding resistance to corrosion, particularly against acids like nitric, hydrochloric, and sulfuric acids. On a mechanical level, tantalum has a high melting point (over 3000°C), remarkable ductility, and impressive strength, with a tensile strength of around 207 MPa and a yield strength of about 138 MPa. It retains its structural integrity even at elevated temperatures. These characteristics, along with excellent fatigue and creep resistance, make tantalum bars and rods perfect for use in harsh chemical environments and high-performance engineering applications.

Yes, tantalum bars and rods are highly corrosion-resistant, especially to acids, alkalis, and high temperatures, making them ideal for harsh environments like chemical processing and aerospace applications.
Annealed tantalum bars and rods are heat-treated for improved ductility and softness, while non-annealed ones are harder and more brittle, retaining their as-cast properties. Annealed versions are easier to shape.
Tantalum Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that require exceptional corrosion resistance and thermal stability. In the chemical processing sector, they are utilized for heat exchangers, reactor linings, and evaporators that come into contact with aggressive acids. The electronics industry relies on tantalum for producing capacitors, resistors, and other high-performance components. In aerospace and defense, tantalum is prized for its strength-to-weight ratio and stability at high temperatures. Medical applications include surgical implants and instruments, thanks to its biocompatibility. Tantalum’s unique blend of properties guarantees reliable performance in demanding environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
