Tantalum Sheet UNS R05200, 0.06" Thickness FAQs
Q1: What are the key material properties of Tantalum Sheet UNS R05200, 0.06" Thickness?
A1: R05200 tantalum sheet at 0.06" thickness typically exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in acidic environments, due to its stable oxide layer. It has a high melting point of approximately 2 996°C, lending it excellent thermal stability. The material also demonstrates ductility and formability while maintaining strength, making it suitable for complex forming operations. Its biocompatibility and low vapour pressure are essential for high-temperature, chemical, and medical applications.
Q2: How can this tantalum product be processed or fabricated?
A2: R05200 tantalum sheets at 0.06" thickness can be formed through cold or hot working methods, such as rolling, pressing, and stamping. Welding is typically performed in inert atmospheres or via electron beam welding to minimise contamination. Machining requires adequate lubrication and lower cutting speeds due to tantalum’s ductility and tendency to gall. Annealing cycles can restore ductility post-processing.
Q3: Which quality standards and certifications apply to Tantalum Sheet UNS R05200, 0.06" Thickness?
A3: These sheets typically comply with ASTM B708 specifications, which outline chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances for wrought tantalum products. Manufacturers often maintain ISO 9001 quality systems and may also comply with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements when applicable. Third-party testing, encompassing ultrasonic inspection and chemical analysis, ensures traceability, consistency, and that the material meets stringent industry thresholds and customer specifications.
