Tantalum and tantalum alloys have high density, high melting point, corrosion resistance, excellent high temperature strength, good processability, weld ability and low plastic transition temperature and excellent dynamic mechanical properties.
After oxidation treatment, tantalum products such as tantalum plate, tantalum wire will form excellent comprehensive properties such as stable, high dielectric constant amorphous oxide film, which makes it widely used in electronics, chemical, weapons and other industries. With the rapid development of tantalum capacitors, the demand for tantalum will increase dramatically. Copper replaced aluminum as a connector material in integrated circuits, opening up a large new application area.
The rapid development of superalloys has led to an increasing use of tantalum in superalloys. The excellent dynamic properties of Ta and tantalum alloys have also accelerated their application and development in weapons. It is expected that in the next 5 to 10 years, the world's Ta industry will continue to grow with an increase of more than 12%.
