Description

Sintered, grain stabilized tantalum is doped with silicon which prevents grain growth even at high temperatures. This makes this tantalum suitable for use at even the highest operating temperatures. The fine-grained microstructure remains stable even after being annealed at temperatures of up to approximately 2000 °C. This process ensures that the material's excellent mechanical properties such as its ductility and strength remain intact.

This material data has been provided by Plansee.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
