Elvis Nickel Alloys is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of high-purity Tantalum Bars, proudly based in Houston, USA. We specialize in providing top-notch materials designed for the toughest corrosive and high-temperature environments. Tantalum, a rare and corrosion-resistant refractory metal, is celebrated for its remarkable resistance to acids, outstanding thermal conductivity, and biocompatibility. Our Tantalum bars are precision-engineered to meet the stringent demands of industries like aerospace, electronics, medical, and chemical processing. Available in various grades, including RO5200 and RO5400, these bars adhere to global standards such as ASTM B365 and can be customized in size and finish.
Our Tantalum Bars boast a composition of 99.9% or higher pure tantalum, with small amounts of elements like niobium, tungsten, and iron, depending on the grade. They feature a high melting point (~3017°C), excellent ductility, and tensile strength ranging from 200 to 750 MPa, based on temper. Tantalum has a density of 16.6 g/cm³, low vapor pressure, and exceptional resistance to acid corrosion, particularly against hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids. Its stable oxide layer enhances its chemical inertness, making it a perfect choice for demanding service environments.
