Tantalum - Import export

At TRADIUM, tantalum is available in the following forms for industrial use: - Tantalum pieces and sheets - Semi-finished products Your point of contact for tantalum is: Frank Meier Phone: +49 (0)69 50 50 250 - 234 We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Tantalum is a shiny grey, very hard and yet ductile heavy metal from the vanadium group, it is easy to form and weld. Tantalum belongs to the refractory metals, is very resistant to almost all acids (except hydrofluoric acid) and has a high absorption capacity for hydrogen and nitrogen. In nature, tantalum only occurs bound together with niobium. Tantalum is used in electrical engineering, chemistry, in high-temperature furnace construction, in evaporation plants and even in nuclear technology. Tantalum is added as an alloying component to rust and acid-resistant steels. Tantalum carbide is used for the production of hard metals. At E.WAGENER you can obtain tantalum in all common forms, alloys and processing forms, always in accordance with your requirements.

Tantalum and niobium combine high corrosion resistance with good mechanical properties. We supply them as is-materials or as semi-finished goods – e.g. sheets and plates, bars, wires and billets. Without superconductive niobium-titanium, the most modern medical diagnostic instrument – the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner – would not be possible. Niobium-tantalum plays a major role in modern material analytics. Further application areas for niobium-titanium and niobium-tantalum are magnets in particle physics research centres, as well as energy generation. Molybdenum is an important raw material in the photovoltaic industry.
