ASTM B708 Tantalum Alloy Sheet R05400 Non Ferrous Metals Plate Strip Ribbon
Plates of pure tantalum or tantalum alloy in various shapes plate/sheet/strip/ribbon
Tantalum Sheet and Tantalum Plate are made of dark blue-gray tantalum metal that is very heavy, ductile, and hard and has high corrosion resistance. Tantalum Sheet and Tantalum Plate are especially resistant to chemicals at temperatures below 150 °C and can only be dissolved with hydrofluoric acid. Tantalum Plate and Tantalum Sheet have a high melting point and are able to form extremely thin and protective oxide layers for high-quality capacitors, making it an excellent material for lumps.
Tantalum is a strong, ductile metal that is nearly immune to chemical attack at room temperatures. It can be drawn into a fine wire that is used to evaporate metals, such as aluminum. It has a high melting point and is frequently used as a substitute for platinum, which is more expensive. Tantalum is used to make components for chemical plants, nuclear power plants, airplanes and missiles. Tantalum does not react with bodily fluids and is used to make surgical equipment. Tantalum also does not irritate the body and is used to make surgical sutures as well as implants, such as artificial joints and cranial plates. Tantalum is alloyed with steel to increase steel's ductility, strength and melting point.
