Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200, Dia. 10 mm FAQs
Q1: What are the key material properties of Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200, Dia. 10 mm?
A1: R05200 is a commercially pure tantalum alloy known for its corrosion resistance, high melting point (approx. 2 996°C), and notable ductility. This material has a density of around 16.6 g/cm³, offering high mechanical strength and stability under extreme temperatures. Its low vapour pressure also makes it suitable for high-vacuum applications. Additionally, its biocompatibility allows for use in medical and chemical processing sectors.
Q2: How can this tantalum product be processed or fabricated?
A2: For Tantalum Bar or Rod with UNS R05200 specification, hot working methods such as forging or rolling are utilised to refine grain structure. Machining is performed at low speeds to prevent excessive heat generation, while drilling requires specialised tooling due to the hardness and ductility of tantalum. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is commonly employed; however, an inert environment is necessary to prevent oxidation. Cold working enhances strength without compromising ductility.
Q3: Which quality standards and certifications apply to Tantalum Bar, Tantalum Rod UNS R05200, Dia. 10 mm?
A3: These tantalum bars and rods generally conform to ASTM B365 or other relevant international standards. Manufacturers typically provide mill test certificates detailing chemical composition, mechanical properties, and compliance with standards. Additional quality control involves ultrasonic or eddy current tests to identify internal flaws, as well as surface inspections. Many suppliers maintain ISO 9001 or AS9100 certifications, ensuring strict quality management throughout the production and final inspection processes.
