Tantalum and its alloy wires

Tantalum wire is a filamentary material made of tantalum metal. Tantalum is a very rare metal with a high melting point and corrosion resistance, so tantalum wire has the following excellent properties and uses:
High melting point: tantalum has a very high melting point, which can reach 2996 ° C, so tantalum wire can be used for heating elements in high temperature environments, such as high temperature furnaces.

Corrosion resistance: Tantalum has good corrosion resistance and can withstand the erosion of strong corrosive media such as acid and alkali, so tantalum wire can be used in the corrosive environment of chemical industry, electroplating and other industries.

Good mechanical properties: tantalum wire has high tensile strength and ductility, and can be used to make wires and springs of various shapes.

Medical field: Due to the high biocompatibility of tantalum, tantalum wire can be used to make medical devices such as artificial joints.

Glasses frame: Tantalum wire can be used to make high-grade glasses frames because of its good toughness and corrosion resistance.

In short, tantalum wire is a very excellent metal material, with a variety of excellent properties and uses, in high temperature, corrosion, medical, glasses and other fields have a wide range of applications.

Tantalum 10 tungsten wire is a linear material made from a mixture of tantalum and tungsten. The "10" indicates that the mass percentage of tungsten is 10%, so the composition of Ta10W wire is 90% tantalum and 10% tungsten.

Ta-10W wire has higher strength and hardness than pure tantalum wire, while still maintaining the high temperature properties and corrosion resistance of tantalum. Therefore, Ta10%W alloys wire can be used for higher strength and higher temperature applications, such as aerospace, nuclear industry, high temperature furnace and other fields. In addition, tantalum 10 tungsten wire can also be used to make some devices that require high stability and precision, such as precision resistors, thermometers, and so on.

The Ta7.5W wire contains slightly less tungsten than the tantalum 10 tungsten wire. But it also has corrosion resistance. It is often used in the sewage treatment industry. Tantalum 7.5 Tungsten wire is composed of 92.5% tantalum and 7.5% tungsten.

Tantalum 2.5 tungsten is a linear material made from the mixture of tantalum and tungsten two metals, where the "2.5" indicates that the mass percentage of tungsten is 2.5%, so the composition of tantalum 2.5 tungsten wire is 97.5% tantalum and 2.5% tungsten.

Compared with pure tantalum wire, Ta2.5W wire has higher strength and hardness, but still maintains the high temperature properties and corrosion resistance of tantalum. Due to the relatively low cost of Ta-2.5W wire, in some applications requiring high strength and high temperature performance, Ta2.5%W wire can be chosen to replace the higher tungsten content of the alloy wire such as tantalum 10 tungsten.

The main application areas of tantalum 2.5 tungsten wire include electronics, semiconductors, aerospace and other fields, such as for the production of high temperature furnace heating elements, aerospace engine parts, semiconductor equipment electrodes and so on. In addition, tantalum 2.5 tungsten wire can also be used to make a variety of high temperature strength requirements of the parts, such as gas turbine blades, gas turbine rotor and so on.

Fortu Tech can produce and process Ta10W alloys billet, Ta10W alloys sheet, Ta10W alloys plate, Ta10W alloys rod, Ta10W alloys wire, Ta10W alloys tubes.
