Tantalum is a sensible choice whenever high corrosion resistance is required. Even though tantalum is not one of the noble metals, it is comparable to them in terms of chemical resistance. In addition, tantalum is very easy to work at well below room temperature despite its body-centered cubic crystal structure. Tantalum's corrosion resistance makes it a valuable material in a large number of chemical applications. We use our "unyielding" material, for example, to produce heat exchangers for the equipment construction sector, charge carriers for furnace construction, implants for medical technology and capacitor components for the electronics industry.

A material with special talents.

The wide variety of industrial applications in which our tantalum is used reflect the unique properties of the material. We briefly present two of these below:

Customized chemical and electrical properties

Due its particularly fine microstructure, tantalum is the perfect material for drawing ultra-slender wires with a flawless, exceptionally pure surface for use in tantalum capacitors. We can determine the chemical, electrical and mechanical properties of these wires to a high degree of precision. As a result, our products give our customers tailor-made, consistent component properties which we are continuously developing and refining.

Outstanding resistance and excellent cold ductility.

Its excellent resistance coupled with its excellent formability and weldability make tantalum the perfect material for heat exchangers. Our tantalum heat exchangers are exceptionally stable and resistant to a range of aggressors. With our many years of experience in the machining of tantalum, we are also able to manufacture complex dimensions which precisely meet your requirements.
