Applications

Uses of Tantalum Rods and Tantalum Bars Tantalum rods and tantalum bars appear in many applications, including:

Sputtering gun barrels: Computer disk manufacturers and other industries using sputtering processes are increasingly adopting tantalum to resist corrosion in sputtering gun barrels. The tantalum lining process is more environmentally efficient than chromium lining, helping industries reduce their ecological impact.

Machined fasteners: Machined fasteners fabricated from tantalum offer superior corrosion resistance. They replace fasteners made of alternative materials prone to failure or that require expensive equipment shutdowns for maintenance. Tantalum fasteners appear in industries such as mining, energy, and pharmaceuticals as well as in metal and chemical processing.

X-ray/radiation shielding: Tantalum's radio-opaque qualities make it ideal for X-ray and shielding applications seeking to prevent radiation leakage. Tantalum shielding also protects sensitive electronic components in aerospace structures as well as components operating in corrosive environments.

Vacuum furnace heating elements: Because of tantalum's oxidation resistance and high melting point, many vacuum furnace components incorporate tantalum bars. Tantalum's temperature grain stabilization increases machine life expectancy due to its ability to withstand high temperatures for long periods of time.

Machined parts for chemical processing equipment: Tantalum's corrosion-resistant properties make it a choice material for machined parts used in chemical processing equipment. Tantalum machined parts replace inferior materials that do not perform as well in harsh chemical environments and require extensive maintenance.
