Usage of Tantalum Wires

Tantalum wire is an electrical product supports highly corrosive environments. Generally it is used as the lead

wires for the tantalum capacitors. While the other application in which this Tantalum wire can be effectively

used are lighting applications and chemical processing. A premium surface finish tantalum wire has greater

performance in this type of applications.

Tantalum wire is the chief product used for the manufacture of tantalum electrolyte capacitors. Stanford

Advanced Materials is the supplier of more than 40 types of different advanced Tantalum products with the

least diameter of about 0.10mm.

Tantalum wire is extremely high conductive of electricity and heat. For the production of tantalum electrolyte

capacitors Tantalum wire is highly necessary. Further it can be used as a vacuum electron cathode emission

source, while dealing with sputtering and spray materials.

Tantalum is a malleable and ductile metal, shiny and silvery in appearance, exceptionally resistant to chemical

attack.

It has been proved that human body fluids can handle the metal well, thus the metal has a implementation on the

medical field as it is useful for surgical implants. It is a metal of high melting points so it is very refractory in

nature. This metal is used to manufacture steel component for missile and aircraft manufacture due to its high

melting point attribute.

The most common and earliest use of tantalum wire application is the filaments in light bulbs, but subsequently

it is replaced through tungsten wire. Both the tungsten and Tantalum wire has the same feature of refractory

metals which enable them to use in the production of rectifiers and capacitors.

Apart from wire you can get Tantalum material in the form of sheet, ribbon, foil, insulated wire, rod, and mesh

in a range of sizes and quantities. .

Tantalum is a dense heavy slivery shine material, when it is pure. You can find it in little quantity in mineral.

The main benefit of the material is that it is highly corrosion resistant and due to that it is also resistant to acid

attack. The pure metal can be obtained from mineral through the process of electrolysis.

Tantalum is the material which can be used as a replacement for platinum for laboratory apparatus, as both the

material has the same feature of high corrosion resistance. The human body can resist with the material as

human body do not react with the metal. Therefore it can be easily used for surgical implants without rejection.

While the other applications of the pure metal in the field of electronics industry in the production of numerous

kind of electronic equipment such as rectifiers, lamp filaments, capacitors, etc.
