Tantalum Bar & Tantalum Rod Description

Tantalum bars and tantalum rods are manufactured from tantalum blocks. Tantalum rods may be utilised in the chemical and oil industries owing to their corrosion resistance. SAM is a reliable supplier of tantalum rods and bars and offers customised tantalum products. SAM’s tantalum rods are processed cold from the ingot to the final diameter. Forging, rolling, die forging and drawing are applied individually or in combination to achieve the required dimensions.
Tantalum bars and tantalum rods are mainly used as high temperature alloys that include tantalum and heat-resistant as well as corrosion-resistant alloying additions based on tantalum.
