Louis Metals, in Houston, USA, is a recognized supplier and producer of premium-quality Tantalum R05200 Bars and Rods. Tantalum R05200 is a very high-purity tantalum, which is famous for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in extremely acidic environments. Tantalum R05200 bars and rods are manufactured through state-of-the-art production processes to satisfy stringent industry requirements and deliver the reliability and performance demanded by aerospace, chemical processing, and electronics industries. The superior thermal stability and corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing media of Tantalum R05200 make it the preferred material for high-performance applications where longevity and wear resistance are critical requirements.
Tantalum R05200 Bars and Rods are made up of virtually 99.9% pure tantalum with impeccable resistance against corrosion, particularly in hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acids. With tensile strength of about 200–300 MPa and a high melting point of 3017°C, they remain structurally sound even in severe environments. They have good thermal and electrical conductivity, and low thermal expansion. Tantalum R05200 also possesses excellent formability and can be well-machined, welded, and used in other processing. It has a density of 16.6 g/cm³ and is very resistant to oxidation and chemical attack.
