Sintered Quality Tantalum (TaS) Pickled, Annealed Wire
Description
Due to the powder metallurgical production process employed, sintered quality tantalum (TaS) is particularly fine-grained and pure. As a result, the material is very easy to work and excels due to its excellent surface quality and robust mechanical properties.
