Tantalum Target

Almost all tantalum targets are cold worked. Generally, starting from a tantalum ingot of 15 to 30 cm, cold forging produces a slab about 8 to 10 cm thick, and then cold rolling from this slab, the compression rate can be above 95%. In commercial production, slabs are usually rolled with two-rolling mills or four-rolling mills to form 0.63-1.2cm thick plates with a width of 51-102cm. Typical rolling is carried out at or near room temperature to prevent the formation of oxides on the surface. When hot rolling is required, due to recrystallization, the temperature rises to 1000°C and an intense oxidation reaction occurs.

Almost all thick plates are heat-treated and annealed in a vacuum. Since there is no phase transition, the rate of heating and cooling is not important. It is further rolled with an ordinary rolling mill, and at this time, 4 rolling mills and multiple rolling mills are generally used. Since tantalum is very soft, care should be taken to prevent scratches during processing and transportation.

Application:

Tantalum has high-temperature resistance, strong deformation resistance, and corrosion resistance, tantalum crucibles are basically used for rare earth metal smelting, induction furnace heating elements, special glass smelting, and high-temperature sintering electrolytic capacitors, and corrosion-resistant containers for heavy industry. And sputtering and evaporation containers, etc.
