About Tantalum (unalloyed)
Unalloyed tantalum (R05200 / R05400) foil, sheet, plate, bar, wire and tube for hot acid service. Mumbai stockist and exporter, 3.1 MTC, exported worldwide.
Unalloyed tantalum (UNS R05200 sintered, R05400 electron-beam melted) is virtually inert to hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric and phosphoric acids at concentrations and temperatures where every other engineering metal fails. With a 3017 °C melting point and 16.6 g/cm³ density, it is used for acid-plant heat exchangers, bayonet heaters, rupture discs and chemical linings.
Steelco Metal & Alloys stocks Tantalum (unalloyed) (UNS R05200 / R05400) in Mumbai, India as a stockist, importer and exporter, and ships to 40+ countries. Every dispatch carries EN 10204 3.1 (3.2 on request) mill test certificates, PMI verification and is open to third-party inspection.
