ASTM B521-98 R05200 Pure 99.9% Tantalum Tube Tantalum Pipes
A tantalum tube is a hollow, cylindrical tube made of pure tantalum metal. It is typically produced through a process called extrusion or drawing, in which a larger tantalum billet or rod is forced through a die or a series of progressively smaller dies to produce a tube of the desired diameter and length.
Tantalum tubes have several characteristics that make them useful in various industrial and technological applications. These include:
High melting point: Tantalum has a high melting point of 2,996°C, which makes tantalum tubes suitable for use in high-temperature applications.
Corrosion resistance: Tantalum is highly resistant to corrosion, which makes tantalum tubes suitable for use in harsh environments.
Biocompatibility: Tantalum is biocompatible and non-toxic, which makes tantalum tubes suitable for use in medical implants and other medical applications.
Ductility and malleability: Tantalum is ductile and malleable, which makes tantalum tubes easy to bend and shape into various forms.
Tantalum tubes are used in a variety of applications, including:
Aerospace: Tantalum tubes are used in the aerospace industry for their high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. They are used in the production of aircraft engine components and other high-performance parts.
Chemical processing: Tantalum tubes are used in the chemical processing industry for their resistance to corrosion and high-temperature properties. They are used in the production of reactors, heat exchangers, and other equipment.
Medical: Tantalum tubes are used in the production of surgical implants and other medical devices due to their biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion.
Nuclear: Tantalum tubes are used in nuclear applications for their high-temperature resistance and neutron absorption properties.
Semiconductor: Tantalum tubes are used in semiconductor manufacturing for their high purity and corrosion resistance.
