Ferro-Tantal Powder Description
Ferrotantal (FeTa) Powder is a finely milled alloy of Iron (Fe) and Tantalum (Ta). It is produced by reducing Tantalum oxide with Iron, thereby yielding a material that combines measured properties of Ta and Fe. The powder has a high melting point, quantifiable corrosion resistance, acceptable ductility and high electrical conductivity. Consequently, it serves in a variety of technical applications.
