Tantalum tube USES a lot of, as a result of tantalum with high melting point, good corrosion resistance, cold working performance, widely used in aviation and aerospace industry, high technology, atomic energy industry and chemical industry, mainly used to make supersonic aircraft, rocket, the spacecraft components of the combustion chamber, resistance to high temperature furnace, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid corrosion resistant parts, etc.
Tantalum cannot be processed in the same way as other metals. Generally, the initial process is forging processing and heat treatment,
The flat slab or round medium or small blank is made by hammering and stamping. Unlike other metals, tantalum cannot be heated. The recrystallization temperature of tantalum exceeds 1000C. When heated, excessive oxidation occurs even after a general coating. What's more, if tantalum is exposed to such a high temperature, excessive oxidation will occur on the surface of tantalum, and oxygen can also penetrate into the atoms in the substrate, making tantalum brittle. It's not just oxygen, but even nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen that make tantalum brittle. For the above reasons, tantalum is generally not hot processed. A protective coating or in an inert gas atmosphere where hot processing is required.
