Basic Property of Tantalum-Corrosion Resistance

 

Tantalum  is the most corrosion resistant metal in common use today. Tantalum is not a noble metal, but it is comparable to them in terms of chemical resistance. When exposed to air, tantalum forms a very dense oxide layer  (Ta2O5)  which protects the base material from aggression. This oxide layer therefore makes tantalum corrosion-resistant.

Tantalum 's corrosion resistance in sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid is excellent. It is inert to almost all organic and inorganic chemicals. Its corrosion resistance is similar to that of glass, as both are not working for use in hydrofluoric acid and strong hot alkali surroundings . Tantalum will not be corroded by nitric acid in concentrations up to 98% and temperatures up to at least 100°C, it has verified itself to be totally inert in many corrosion applications. Some Some heat ex-changer establishments have been in consistent use for more than 40 years in multi-item look into situations without even a gasket change because of erosion.

Based on the following listed corrosion resistance chemicals of  tantalum products :  tantalum rods ,  bar, plate ,  sheets ,  wire ,  tantalum carbide  are widely used in many fields. 

 

Tantalum's resistance to corrosion by many materials is exemplified . Tantalum is also resistant to a series of metal melts such as Ag, Bi, Cd, Cs, Cu, Ga, Hg, K, Li, Mg, Na and Pb, provided that these melts have a low oxygen content. However, the material is affected by Al, Fe, Be, Ni and Co.

Alloying of molybdenum

图片
  The alloying principle of molybdenum is similar to that of tungsten. All the strengthening methods used to improve the heat resistance of tungsten are basically applicable to molybdenum. There are mainly the following types: solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening, dispersion strengthening and composite strengthening. Solution strengthening Solid solution strengthening includes the addition of trace elements and high content elements. The trace element solid solution strengthening method mainly refers to adding a trace amount of Ti, Zr, Fe, Mn, La, B and other alloy elements for solid solution strengthening to improve the performance of molybdenum. When trace elements are added, a certain amount of carbon is often added to the alloy. It is the alloy elements and carbon that form carbide dispersed particles to strengthen the strengthening effect. High content element solid solution strengthening The elements that improve the binding force between atoms...

Knowledge about TZM Alloy

  TZM material is an alloy of 0.50% Titanium, 0.08% Zirconium and 0.02% Carbon with the balance Molybdenum and is typically manufactured by powder metallurgy or arc-casting processes. It has a higher recrystallization temperature, higher creep strength & hardness, and higher tensile strength than pure molybdenum. In addition, TZM exhibits good thermal conductivity, low vapor pressure, good corrosion resistance and is machinable.   TZM Molybdenum Physical Properties: Density: 10.22g/cc, 0.37lb/in3 Melting Point: 2623°C, 4753°F Thermal Conductivity: 0.48 Cal/cm2/cm°C/sec Specific Heat: 0.073 Cal/gm/°C Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion: 2.50 micro-in/°F x 10-6 Electrical Resistivity: 6.85 micro-ohm-cm   The molybdenum TZM is a normally utilized constructional material for high-temperature applications. These microstructural aspects significantly affect quality at raised temperatures. By methods for carbide-reinforcing TZM features impro...

Tungsten tube-High density & melting point metal tube

图片
  Tungsten tubes are drilled from tungsten bars / rods, W tube with massive OD are going to be mold directly.   Tungsten – periodic symbol W - lays claim to the very best freezing point of all components. This characteristic combined with a superb ability to resist thermal shock enhances its ability to perform well as a conductor. Rocket cones, that should stand up to fast temperature changes and recurrent on and off cycles, area unit typically manufactured from tungsten. Tungsten's density conjointly permits it to expeditiously block radiation from sure areas whereas directional it to others. It will direct and form a beam of radiation, permitting doctors additional exactitude and management whereas treating cancerous tissue. With the employment of tungsten devices and shields, doctors area unit ready to target cancerous areas, whereas at the same time shielding healthy tissue from the harmful effects of radiation. Application The quartz production method uses c...
