Tantalum Rod – Bar

Key Advantages

  • Precision customization: round/square/hex/rectangle; dimensions to drawing; annealed or non-annealed; small-batch sampling.

  • High corrosion & biocompatibility: resists strong acids/alkalis (except HF); radio-opaque and biocompatible for medical use.

  • High-temperature performance: melting point near 3000°C; stable under thermal and radiation exposure.

  • Process control & QA: powder metallurgy, sintering, forging; full dimensional, chemical, mechanical and NDT inspection available.

Primary Applications

  • Chemical processing: corrosion-resistant components for valves, fittings, piping and reactor parts.

  • Medical & dental: implants, markers and components requiring biocompatibility and imaging visibility (final device approvals by buyer).

  • Aerospace & nuclear: high-temp structural parts and reactor components under extreme conditions.

Testing (typical)

  • Corrosion tests (as required)

  • Eddy current testing

  • Mechanical tests (tensile, yield, elongation)

  • Microstructure examination

Packaging & Delivery

  • Packaging: customized protective cases to prevent impact and surface damage.

  • Shipping: global courier or sea freight; lead times aligned with your schedule.
