Tantalum Plate

Tantalum plates are used in a wide range of industries. In each of these applications, the tantalum has certain properties that are more critical than others. That is why it is essential to work with an experienced and reputable tantalum supplier who can understand your application. Our team has well over 10 years of experience working with tantalum in applications ranging from missile parts to microchips. Because of this experience, we have developed unique production processes to control certain properties such as mechanical properties, grain size, texture, and even chemistry.

Tantalum Plate Applications

Tantalum plate is used in chemical process equipment, cathodic protection systems for steel structures such as bridges, water tanks, prosthetic devices for humans such as hips, plates in the skull, suture clips, corrosion-resistant fasteners, screws, nuts, bolts, high-temperature furnace parts, and high-temperature alloys (Ta10W alloy) for air, and land-based turbines (e.g., jet engines).
