Tantalum Rod

Brief introduction:

The productive processes of tantalum rod are as follows: Put tantalum powder into leather sheath; hammer into bar/rod shape by using machine; put embryonic form into high temperature sintering furnace; finish producing by forging, straightening and grinding.

Material: RO5200, RO5400, RO5252(Ta-2.5W), RO5255(Ta-10W)

Available size:¢4~¢120mm

Standard: As per ASTM B 365-98

Properties of tantalum rod:

Tantalum rods have good strength and hardness, low density, light weight, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, good mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance , no magnetic property, no toxin, good heat transfer performance. At the same time, tantalum rod has super conductivity.

Applications of tantalum rod:

Tantalum rod products are widely used in navigation, aerospace, vacuum salt making, automobile industry, medical and sports, papermaking, textile industry, electric power industry, metallurgical industry, fertilizer industry, seawater desalination industry. Tantalum rod is also used to produce watch shell, computer shell and spare parts.

Jinxing Co., Ltd is one of tantalum suppliers. We can produce tantalum rod as customers’requirements.
