Product Description
Tantalum Rods offered by us, are generally stronger and more reliable than castings and plate steel due to the fact that the grain flows of the steel are altered, conforming to the shape of the part. These rods are very effective as well as economical to use. These rods are easy to install and simple to operate. Tantalum Rods are highly liked and appreciated by our people, in the market for its effectiveness. These rods require very low maintenance and replacement costs, hence very economical to use.
High Purity and Exceptional PerformanceTantalum Rods are composed of 99.95% pure tantalum, ensuring superior consistency and reliability in demanding applications. This high purity contributes to their excellent chemical resistance and outstanding mechanical properties. Available in various grades and customizable dimensions, they are ideal for use where consistent performance is essential, including electronics, laboratory equipment, and high-temperature environments.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesThese rods are widely used in chemical processing, electronics, medical devices, nuclear technology, and aerospace industries. Their excellent corrosion resistance, high melting point, and good machinability with standard carbide tools make them particularly suitable for environments where durability and reliability are paramount. Tantalums flexibility also allows rods to be bent or formed to meet specific design requirements.
Customizable Dimensions and FinishesEach Tantalum Rod can be tailored to your projects specifications, with diameters ranging from 2 mm to 100 mm and lengths from 100 mm up to 1000 mm. Available surface finishes include polished, bright, and as-rolled. The weight of each rod is calculated according to tantalums density (16.6 g/cm), providing precise material solutions for your needs. Compliance with ASTM and environmental standards further guarantees quality and safety.
FAQs of Tantalum Rods:
Q: How are tantalum rods typically used in industry?
A: Tantalum rods are commonly used in chemical processing equipment, electronic components, laboratory apparatus, aerospace assemblies, and medical devices due to their excellent corrosion resistance, stability at high temperatures, and purity.
Q: What is the process for obtaining rods in specific sizes and finishes?
A: Rods can be ordered in custom lengths (100 mm to 1000 mm) and diameters (2 mm to 100 mm), with available finishes including polished, bright, or as-rolled. Discuss your requirements with the supplier, who will guide you through quotation and production according to ASTM standards.
Q: When is tantalum preferred over other metals for rod applications?
A: Tantalum is chosen when applications demand high durability against acids, exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, and resistance to high temperatures. It is especially suited for aggressive chemical environments or where reliable electronic performance is critical.
Q: Where do end users typically source tantalum rods from?
A: End users such as chemical plants, electronics manufacturers, medical device companies, and research laboratories usually obtain tantalum rods from specialized exporters, importers, manufacturers, or suppliersmany of whom operate internationally, including in India.
Q: What are the key benefits of using tantalum rods in corrosion-prone environments?
A: Tantalum rods demonstrate outstanding resistance to most acids, even at elevated temperatures, significantly reducing maintenance and extending the lifespan of equipment used in harsh or corrosive settings.
Q: How is the machinability of tantalum rods and what tools are recommended?
A: Tantalum rods are machinable using standard carbide tools, but it is important to apply coolants during machining in order to maintain tolerances and protect both the material and tooling from heat buildup.
Q: What compliance and purity standards do these rods meet?
A: Tantalum rods comply with ASTM B365 and ASTM F560, as well as RoHS and REACH environmental guidelines. Standard purity is 99.95%, with ultra-high purity options available on request.
