1. Manufacturing Process

Manufacturing a Tantalum Crucible (Ta Crucible) in a cylindrical shape begins with selecting high-purity tantalum sheets, tailored to the customer’s grade requirements. During the initial stages, forming processes are adjusted to accommodate the crucible’s dimensions, ensuring consistent wall thickness and stability. Operators monitor temperatures and conditions for optimal malleability of the tantalum material, minimising defects and ensuring a uniform microstructure.

After shaping, heat treatments are performed to enhance the crucible’s strength and corrosion resistance. Machining techniques then refine the cylindrical walls for precise conformity, enabling the crucible to meet industry standards. Attention is paid to every production step, from welding seams to surface finishing, resulting in a reliable piece that meets the demands of laboratories and manufacturing facilities.
