Tantalum Plate UNS R05400, 0.2" Thickness FAQs

Q1: What are the key material properties of Tantalum Plate UNS R05400, 0.2" Thickness?
A1: This plate exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance in a wide range of chemicals, thanks to a stable oxide layer that protects the metal. With a high melting point of approximately 2996°C and a density of 16.6 g/cm³, it offers superior mechanical strength and ductility. Its low vapor pressure also makes it suitable for vacuum applications. The material maintains excellent biocompatibility and resists embrittlement under thermal cycling.
Q2: Which processing methods are recommended for fabricating Tantalum Plate UNS R05400, 0.2" Thickness?
A2: Due to its ductility, this tantalum plate can be cold-rolled, annealed, and deep-drawn to form complex shapes without cracking. Machining requires sharp tools and slow feeds to control galling, while welding demands an inert atmosphere like vacuum or argon to prevent contamination. Heat treatments can be employed to relieve stress, but precise temperature control is vital to preserve mechanical properties and avoid oxidation.
Q3: What quality standards and certifications apply to Tantalum Plate UNS R05400, 0.2" Thickness?
A3: This product is typically manufactured to meet ASTM B708 or ASME SB708 specifications for Tantalum and Tantalum Alloy Plate, Sheet, and Strip. Additionally, suppliers often maintain ISO 9001 certifications to ensure consistent quality management. Materials are tested for dimensions, flatness, chemical composition, and mechanical properties, and they may come with mill test reports. Customers may also request specific standards like AMS or customer-defined requirements as needed.
