Tantalum tubes are tubular structural components processed from the metal tantalum. Their core advantages stem from the unique properties of tantalum itself - an extremely high melting point (2996℃), excellent corrosion resistance (especially strong acid resistance), good thermal and electrical conductivity, biocompatibility and processing performance. Therefore, it has irreplaceable application value in multiple high-demand fields.
The low resistance, high stability and processing accuracy of tantalum make it suitable for high-precision conductivity, signal transmission or heat dissipation structures in the electronics field, especially for the clean and high-temperature environment in semiconductor manufacturing. It is used in the gas delivery pipes of plasma etching machines and thin film deposition equipment (such as CVD) in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. When transporting corrosive process gases (such as fluoride gas), tantalum tubes can prevent gas contamination and withstand high temperatures during equipment operation (up to over 800℃). Chip heat dissipation components: Heat dissipation pipes for some high-power chips, which utilize the thermal conductivity of tantalum to quickly dissipate heat while avoiding reactions with the chemical substances around the chip.
Tantalum has excellent biocompatibility (non-allergenic, non-toxic, and can combine well with human tissues), and is resistant to body fluid corrosion (human body fluids are a weak electrolyte environment). Therefore, it is used in the medical field for long-term implantable medical devices. The aerospace and military industries have extremely high requirements for the "extreme environmental adaptability" of materials (such as high temperatures, low temperatures, strong vibrations, and corrosive media), and the performance of tantalum tubes precisely meets these demands:
Rocket engines and spacecraft，As a propellant delivery pipe: It can transport rocket fuel (such as liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen and can withstand extreme temperature differences from -253 ℃ (liquid hydrogen temperature) to 800℃ (local high temperature of the engine), without the risk of fuel contamination.
