Description
Tantalum Tube or Tantalum Pipe is a type of tube made from the rare and highly dense metal tantalum (CAS# 7440-25-7). It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for various applications, such as heat exchangers, condensers, shell and tube heaters, and high-temperature furnace parts, as well as military satellites, cutting-edge medical technologies, semiconductor and electronics, defense, furnace parts, chemical processing equipment, and medical applications.
Tantalum finds versatile applications in fabricating both welded and seamless tubes/pipes. Producing seamless tantalum tubes/pipes involves techniques such as extrusion, tube reduction, or deep drawing using sheet metal. In contrast, welded tantalum tubes/pipes are manufactured by forming a strip, shaping it into a tube, and welding the joint using gas tungsten arc welding. These seamless or welded tubes cater to a broad spectrum of industrial uses.
There are two types of tubes for Tantalum tubes: seamless tubes and welded tubes. The welded tube is recommended for a thin-wall thickness tube, while for a thicker-wall thickness tube, a seamless tube is recommended. For even smaller-sized tubes, Tantalum Capillary is your choice. The outer surface of the Tantalum Tube is polished, with roughness below 3.2um. The inner surface is up to customers’ unique needs.
