TA0007 Tantalum disc (Ta-disc)

Tantalum Disc Description

Tantal (Ta) is a metal with a dark blue-grey appearance. It is heavy, ductile and hard, and it exhibits high corrosion resistance. Tantal remains chemically stable at temperatures below 150 °C and is dissolved only by hydrofluoric acid. It has the fourth highest melting point among all metals and is capable of forming extremely thin, protective oxide layers for high-grade capacitors, thereby making it a suitable material for discs.

The tantalum disc is manufactured from Tantalmetall. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) is an established manufacturer and supplier of Tantal metal and other tantalum products, offering tantalum discs at competitive prices.

Stanford Advanced Materials supplies various types of tantalum discs. Custom modifications are available on request.

Chemical Composition

Tantalum and Tantalum Alloy

• R05200, unalloyed tantalum, produced by electron beam furnace or vacuum arc melting, or both.
• R055400, unalloyed tantalum, produced by powder metallurgical consolidation.
• R05255, tantalum alloy containing 90% tantalum and 10% tungsten, produced by electron beam or vacuum arc melting, or both.
• R05252, tantalum alloy composed of 97.5% tantalum and 2.5% tungsten, produced using electron beam or vacuum arc melting, or both.
• R05240, tantalum alloy consisting of 60% tantalum and 40% niobium, produced by electron beam furnace or vacuum arc melting.

In addition to the tantalum discs, SAM also supplies Tantal-Sputter-Targets with purities of up to 99,95%, 99,99% and 99,999%.

Applications of Tantalum Discs

Tantal is employed in various industrial sectors. In laboratories, it contributes to the precision and reliability of scientific experiments and analyses. Furthermore, tantalum is used as a substitute for platinum in certain applications. It is applied in the manufacture of superalloys and in electron beam melting processes, thereby supporting the production of advanced materials and technologies. Its utilisation in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and in the glass and ceramics industries has been recorded to enhance the efficiency and quality of several processes.

Packaging of Tantalum Discs

The tantalum discs are handled with care to prevent damage during storage and transportation, thereby preserving the product’s quality in its original condition.
