What is a Tantalum Pipe?
Tantalum is a heavy metal that has atomic number 73 and is denoted by the symbol ‘Ta’. It is found in ores like tantalize, Samaritan and pyrochlore that contain other metals as well along with Tantalum. It is a lustrous element found in the shade of dark blue gray is ductile and has the property of high resistance to corrosion. It is especially resistant to chemicals at temperatures above 150 °C and can only be dissolved with hydroelectric acid. It is the metal with the fourth highest melting point of all metals and is able to form extremely thin and protective oxide layers for high quality capacitors which make it an excellent material for pipes and tubes. It is generally not used as an alloying agent since it renders metals to become brittle, except for steel. When added with steel, Tantalum enhances the strength, ductility and melting point of steel.
Tantalum is highly used as a replacement of platinum as it is much cheaper. The special characteristics of this metal make it useful in a wide range of industries. Due to being chemically inert, Tantalum is of extremely high value for laboratory equipment’s for medical implants and bone repair. It Is majorly used in the electronics industry in developing mobile phones, DVD players, video game systems and computers.

Tantalum and Tantalum Alloys Welded Tube and Seamless Tube Performance Comparison
Tantalum and Tantalum Alloys Welded Tube and Seamless Tube Performance Comparison |
|
Advantage |
Disadvantage |
Specification |
Welded Tube |
1)The wall thickness is even and the inner surface quality is good. |
1)Poor flexibility, not suitable for production of more specifications but fewer batches |
Usually suitable for the production of large batches |
2)High production efficiency and low cost |
2)Weld seams are often the weak links |
3)Easy to produce large diameter tubing |
3)It is difficult to clean the weld seam |
4)Short production lead-time |
4)The elasticity is not easy to control |
5)Easy to control products’ quality |
5)High requirement for the dimension precision of strip |
Seamless Tube |
1)Can produce small specification tube and capillary tube |
1)The uniformity of wall thickness is difficult to control |
Usually suitable for the production of small batch but many specifications |
2)Good flexibility, suitable for production of small batch but many specifications |
2)Production lead-time is long and low yield |
3)The performance of the whole tube is homogeneous |
3)Complex equipment and large investment |
|
4)Difficult to produce large diameter tubes |
