Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200, Unannealed FAQs

Q1: What are the key material properties of Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200, Unannealed?
A1: Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200 in the unannealed condition exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly against most acids and chemical environments. It has a melting point of approximately 2 996°C, excellent ductility, and high density (approximately 16.6 g/cm³). Unannealed tantalum is harder and less malleable than annealed forms, making it suitable for applications where strength and chemical inertness are necessary.
Q2: How can this tantalum product be processed or fabricated?
A2: Tantalum rod and bar in the unannealed state typically undergo processing through methods such as cold working, swaging, forging, and precision machining. Its high melting point and toughness necessitate specialised equipment and tooling, often made of tungsten carbide. Vacuum or inert gas environments may be used to minimise contamination during processing, preserving its purity. Heat treatments, while not always necessary, can improve ductility and reduce residual stress.
Q3: Which quality standards and certifications apply to Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200, Unannealed?
A3: Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200 typically complies with ASTM B365 or equivalent international standards, ensuring specified chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional accuracy. Manufacturers may also meet AMS specifications for aerospace applications. Quality controls, including ultrasonic testing, eddy current testing, and chemical analysis, are typically implemented. Many producers maintain ISO 9001 certifications to document quality management systems, ensuring material integrity for industrial requirements.
