Tantalum (Ta) is a dark blue-gray metal that is very heavy, ductile and hard and has high corrosion resistance. Tantalum is especially resistant to chemicals at temperatures below 150 °C and can only be dissolved with hydrofluoric acid.
Tantalum (Ta) is a dark blue-gray metal that is very heavy, ductile and hard and has high corrosion resistance. Tantalum is especially resistant to chemicals at temperatures below 150 °C and can only be dissolved with hydrofluoric acid. It has the fourth highest melting point of all metals and is able to form extremely thin and protective oxide layers for high-quality capacitors, making it an excellent material for an ingot.
Advanced Refractory Metals is a trusted supplier of tantalum ingot and a wide variety of tantalum products.

Tantalum ingots are used in a variety of industries due to their unique properties:
Aerospace: Tantalum ingots are used to manufacture components that can withstand extreme temperatures, such as turbine blades, rocket nozzles, and other high-stress parts.
Medical Devices: Due to their biocompatibility, tantalum ingots are used to create medical implants like pacemaker housings and surgical instruments.
Electronics: Tantalum ingots are processed into tantalum capacitors and other electronic components used in smartphones, computers, and automotive electronics.
Chemical Processing: Tantalum is resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in equipment such as reactors, heat exchangers, and tanks in chemical processing industries.
Defense: Tantalum ingots are used in the production of military equipment and components that require high strength, durability, and heat resistance.
Our tantalum ingots are mostly packed in wooden crates, this can protect the tantalum ingot during transportation and handling.
