Tantalum Tungsten Tube
Product Tantalum Tungsten Tubing (TaW Tube/Pipe)
Part Number TRM-TA004
Standard ASTM B521 UNS R05252/ UNS R05255
Assay Ta97.5W2.5 or Ta90W10
Type Seamless or Welded
Density 16.9 g/cm3

Tantalum tungsten alloy (Ta-W alloy) is typically tantalum 2.5% Tungsten and tantalum 10% Tungsten of high density 16.90 g/cm3. It has good high-temperature mechanical properties, high density, high strength, good toughness and strong stiffness, and the working temperature can be up to 1500°C. In addition, tantalum tungsten tubing has excellent corrosion resistance especially in acids. We can offer a wide variety of diameters and wall thicknesses. Our tantalum material is from Non-Conflict Resource.

Application:  Tantalum response vessel, tantalum heat exchangers pipes, protective tubes and etc.

Thermostability 93%
Machinability 81%
Corrosion Resistance 92%
