Tantalum Crucible

Tantalum Crucibles are primarily used in material processing, melting, and synthesis under extreme conditions. They are available in two main forms: seamless and welded. The seamless tantalum crucible is produced using a seamless process that meets requirements. The welded tantalum crucible is made from flat-rolled material through an automatic or semiautomatic fusion welding process without filler metal.

Tantalum  Crucible Applications

  • High-temperature materials processing: Tantalum crucibles are widely used in the processing of materials at high temperatures.
  • Metal melting: Tantalum crucibles are essential for melting metals like platinum, gold, and other high-temperature alloys.
  • Chemical synthesis: Tantalum crucibles are commonly used in chemical reactors where corrosion resistance is critical, such as in the production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
  • Semiconductor industry: Tantalum crucibles are used for refining semiconductor materials such as polysilicon and gallium arsenide.

Tantalum and Tantalum Alloy

  • R05200, unalloyed tantalum, electron-beam furnace vacuum-arc melt, or both
  • R05400, unalloyed tantalum, powder-metallurgy consolidation.
  • R05255, tantalum alloy, 90 % tantalum, 10 % tungsten, electron-beam furnace of vacuum-arc melt, or both.
  • R05252, tantalum alloy, 97.5 % tantalum, 2.5 % tungsten, electron-beam furnace or vacuum-arc melt, or both.
  • R05240, tantalum alloy, 60 % tantalum, 40 % niobium, electron-beam furnace or vacuum-arc melt.

Tantalum Crucible Packaging

The Tantalum Crucible is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons, with additional support from soft materials, to prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
