Tantalum - Import export

Rods made of tantalum are available in the diameter range 4mm to 40mm in different lengths in the Plansee Online Shop. Order fast and easily in the producer's onlineshop: www.plansee.com/shop. Special dimensions are available on request.

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.

Evaporation boats made of tungsten, molybdenum and tantalum are available in many different widths, lenghts, material thicknesses and volumes directly in the Plansee Online Shop: www.plansee.com/shop. Special dimensions are available on request.

Plansee supplies sintering and annealing boats made of molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, tungsten and various alloys such as ML or TZM. They are dimensionally stable, corrosion resistant against many chemicals and have a very good creep resistance. Whether is is continuous or batch furnaces - Plansee has the right solution at hand. For best quality surfaces we supply sintering and annealing boats with coatings made of aluminum and zirconium. Plansee produces its boats according to the customer's drawing in different sizes and shapes.

Evaporation coils are available in many different lenghts, diameters, coil lenghts and coil pitches. These resistance heaters with their very high melting points will bring practically any metal to the boil. At the same time, their high corrosion resistance and outstanding material purity prevent any contamination of the substrate. The range includes evaporation coils made of the following materials: — Grain stabilized tungsten (WVM) for the evaporation of aluminum — Tantalum — Molybdenum — Molybdenum-lanthenum (ML) for particularly long service lives

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.
