Tantalum and Tantalum-based Alloys

Tantalum is a gray, heavy, and very hard metal that mainly occurs in ores of tantalite, samarskite and pyrochlore. Tantalum is a strong and ductile metal and at temperatures below 150°C, it is quite immune to chemical attack. It is known to be resistant to corrosion due to an oxide film on its surface. The specific resistance of tantalum is around 0.2 ohms per centimeter cube at room temperature making it one of the best electrical resistive materials available today.

Alfa Chemistry provides high-quality tantalum and tantalum-based alloys at a competitive price. We can also customize various shapes of tantalum products according to your requirements or drawings.

Pure Tantalum Products

Tantalum is mainly used in the following four areas: high-temperature applications, such as aircraft engines; electrical devices, such as capacitors; surgical implants due to its complete immune to body liquids; and handling corrosive chemicals.

Pure tantalum products we can supply are listed below.

Tantalum-based Alloys

Tantalum alloys are easily worked into a variety of parts such as tubing, thermowells, heat exchangers, industrial chemical apparatus, missile and aircraft parts and surgical instruments.

Tantalum-tungsten (Ta-W) alloys we can provide are in the shapes of foil and rod in different compositions.
