Annealing, quenching and heat treatment of tantalum

Are you interested in thermal processing of tantalum and its alloys from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.

The purpose of heat treatment of tantalum and its alloys

Heat treatment of tantalum is performed in order to increase its anti-corrosion resistance. Tantalum combines the inertness of glass with the strength and plasticity of low-carbon steel and with much higher heat output than glass. The relatively high cost of tantalum is a limiting factor in its use, but where an increased corrosion resistance is important, the cost can be justified. Manufacturing methods in which thin parts made from tantalum are used in chemical processing equipment provide the creation of such structures that have only a tantalum-containing surface coating. At the same time, corrosion resistance is maintained, and the installation cost is significantly reduced.

The long service life and reliability of equipment, whose construction is made of tantalum, are provided by a properly selected heat treatment regime. It is mandatory to use a restorative or neutral atmosphere.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers tantalum and its alloys in a wide range of brands and profiles, as well as at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Heat treatment modes

Annealing of tantalum limits the growth of grain in the microstructure, and helps to increase the uniformity of the mechanical properties of the material. The fine-grained microstructure remains stable even after heating to 2000 ° C.

This process guarantees excellent mechanical properties of the material, such as its ductility and strength, which remain unchanged. Tantalum, stabilized in grain in the form of wire or sheets, is ideal for sintering in tantalum anodes or for making high-temperature furnaces.

Hardening of tantalum and its alloys in the course of various schemes of heat treatment does not occur. The increase in strength and hardness is possible only as a result of cold plastic deformation of the material.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase tantalum and its alloys in various types and nomenclature of brands and profiles in the assortment. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
