About 50% of the Tantalum round bar consumed each year is used within the electronics industry, mainly as powder and wire for capacitors. It has a fine microstructure which makes it ideal for drawing precision thin wires which require a flawless pure surface, as required in applications such as electronic capacitors. Tantalum bar high melting point makes it suitable to be added to superalloys that are used for turbine blades of aircrafts, nuclear reactors, missile parts and gas turbines.
Ta & Ta-alloy (such as Ta-2.5W, Ta-10W, Ta-40Nb etc) rod can be used for aviation and aerospace industry, high-temperature, atomic and chemical industry due to its high melting point, anti-corrosion, good cold workability and other characteristics. It is mainly used to produce supersonic aircraft, rocket engine, spacecraft combustor parts, high-temperature furnace parts, corrosion resistant parts which are resistance to nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric, etc. These Tantalum welding rod highly ductile and exceptionally strong at high temperatures.
