Home > Tantalum Rod
Elvis Nickel Alloys stands out as a leading manufacturer and supplier of Tantalum Rods right in Houston, USA. We pride ourselves on delivering top-quality rods that are designed to resist corrosion, maintain thermal stability, and remain chemically inert. Crafted from high-purity tantalum (≥99.9%), our rods meet international standards like ASTM B365, making them perfect for a variety of applications, including chemical processing, medical uses, semiconductors, and aerospace. Known for their durability against harsh chemicals, especially hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, our tantalum rods also retain their strength even at elevated temperatures. At Elvis Nickel Alloys, we offer precision-machined tantalum rods in different diameters and lengths tailored for both critical and custom-engineered projects.
Tantalum Rods are made from 99.9% pure tantalum, with carefully controlled trace amounts of elements such as oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. They boast a high melting point of around 3017°C and a density of 16.6 g/cm³, along with impressive thermal conductivity and ductility. With a tensile strength ranging from 200 to 250 MPa, these rods are not only highly formable but also resistant to acid corrosion, particularly from hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids. Their mechanical stability at high temperatures and non-reactive characteristics make them ideal for both structural and conductive applications in extreme conditions.
