탄탈룸이라는 단어를 들어보면 1980년대 유행했던 헤비메탈 밴드라고 생각할 수 있다.. 그런 밴드는 없었다, 그러나 금속에 대해 말하면, 탄탈은 하드, 연성 금속.
Tantalum’s Beginnings
Tantalum’s atomic number is 73 원자 기호는 Ta. 그것의 녹는점은 5,462.6 F and its boiling point is 9,856.4 F.
Named after Tantalus, a Greek mythological character, 탄탈륨이 처음 발견된 1802. If you were to look for tantalum, you’d likely find it occurring naturally in the mineral columbite-tantalite which is found in a variety of countries, including Canada, 호주, 브라질, Thailand and parts of Africa.
Tantalum’s Uses
So what’s tantalum used for? It’s most often used for electrolytic capacitors and vacuum furnace parts. You might find it in chemical process equipment as well as nuclear reactors and aircraft and missile parts. Because it’s completely immune to body liquids, tantalum is used in making surgical appliances. Tantalum oxide can be used to make a special glass (with a high index of refraction) that you might find in certain camera lenses. Tantalum has many uses.
Industries that Are Dependent on Tantalum
Tantalum is used in numerous industries, with a particular emphasis on the electronics industry. It’s a highly stable metal with high levels of corrosion resistance. 사실로, it’s part of a class of metals known as refractory metals, as defined by strong resistance to heat and wear– and this is thanks to its very high melting point.
Alloy-wise, when combined with other metals, tantalum produces alloys with enhanced strength and higher melting points. Since it’s ductile, it can be used for processes involving bending, stamping and/or pressing.
Are you looking to buy pure tantalum metal and/or tantalum alloy(s)? Eagle Alloys sells tantalum and other industrial metals.
