Category: Tantalum

Tantalum is a ductile metal. Tantalum has excellent corrosion resistance to most chemicals except hydrofluoric acid. Tantalum metal has a melting point exceeded only by tungsten & rhenium. The melting point of tantalum is approximately 3017 degrees Celsius. Tantalum’s main end uses are in capacitors, vacuum furnaces, chemical process equipment, nuclear reactors, and aircraft parts.

Advanced Refractory Metals is a leading supplier of tantalum products. We offer low pricing and great lead times on all our materials, and we’re capable of supplying custom materials per any specs/drawings you provide us with.

What are the Differences Between Electrolytic, Tantalum, And Ceramic Capacitors?

0 Comment

Capacitors are electronic components characterized by their capacity to store electric charges. Generally, capacitors are passive electrical components, which means that their function is not dependent on extra electricity. They store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors. Electrical energy discharges from the capacitor by chemical action. Capacitors control the flow of […]
