Tantalum-Tungsten Disc Description
Tantalum-tungsten discs possess a high melting point. They retain their structural integrity and performance even at extreme temperatures. Given this thermal stability, they are suitable for use in high‑temperature environments, for instance in aerospace engines or nuclear reactors. The disc shows corrosion resistance to various chemical substances, acids and alkalis. This property ensures durability and longevity even in corrosive environments. Tantalum-tungsten discs exhibit high hardness, strength and toughness. They are suitable for applications requiring durable and permanent materials. Their mechanical properties enable them to withstand high loads and stresses while retaining their form and functionality under extreme conditions. The disc features electrical and thermal conductivity. It is used in electronic devices and high‑temperature applications where efficient heat dissipation is critical. In nuclear applications, the tantalum-tungsten disc demonstrates high radiation resistance and maintains its properties and performance after exposure to high‑energy radiation. The material exhibits biocompatibility, making it a potential candidate for medical applications such as implants or surgical instruments, where compatibility with human tissue is essential.
