Tantal-Wolfram Rods & Tantal-Wolfram Bars Description
Tantal-Wolfram rods and bars made from Tantalum-Tungsten alloys possess high strength and hardness. They are engineered to resist high pressure and significant impact loads. The alloys retain their measured mechanical properties and chemical stability at elevated temperatures and do not soften or distort. Their performance remains consistent in high-temperature environments. They demonstrate resistance against a range of chemicals and corrosive media, thereby maintaining stable performance over extended periods. The material also exhibits good electrical and thermal conductivity, which makes it applicable in electronics, electrical energy transmission and heat conduction.
