Tantalum rod packaging:

Wrap the one by one with plastic film, and then filling with pearl cotton,finally package them by plywood boxes. Our reasonable packaging method can prevent the  from colliding with each other during transportation, and also prevent the impact of external goods on the product, and ensure that the product is in good condition after delivery.

Properties and Characteristics:

High Melting Point: Tantalum has an exceptionally high melting point of 3017°C (5463°F), which makes tantalum rods suitable for high-temperature applications where other metals would melt or degrade.

Corrosion Resistance: Tantalum is highly resistant to corrosion, particularly in acidic environments. This property makes tantalum rods ideal for use in chemical processing equipment, where they can withstand the corrosive effects of acids and other chemicals.

Biocompatibility: Tantalum is biocompatible and non-toxic, which makes tantalum rods suitable for medical applications. They are used in surgical implants such as bone screws, plates, and vascular stents.

High Density: Tantalum is a dense metal, which gives tantalum rods high density and a substantial feel relative to their size. This property contributes to their durability and mechanical stability in various applications.

Good Workability: Tantalum can be easily fabricated into rods through processes like forging, machining, and extrusion. This allows manufacturers to create rods of different diameters and lengths to suit specific industrial requirements.

Applications:
