Tantalum wire is made from high-purity tantalum powder through rolling, drawing, and extrusion, resulting in a flexible, durable wire with excellent ductility. It is corrosion-resistant, has a high melting point, and performs reliably in extreme conditions, making it ideal for medical, aerospace, electronics, and chemical applications where temperature, corrosion, and strength are critical. Below are the key applications of tantalum wire:
Electronics: Used in the anode lead of tantalum electrolytic capacitors, essential in mobile phones, computers, and automotive electronics. About 65% of the world's tantalum is used in this field.
Medical: Biocompatible and used for tissue compensation and suturing nerves and tendons in medical implants.
High-Temperature Furnaces: Tantalum wire is used as heating elements in vacuum high-temperature furnaces, thanks to its high melting point.
Capacitors: Employed in high-temperature and high-voltage tantalum foil capacitors, capable of operating in extreme conditions.
Vacuum and Emission Applications: Used as an electron cathode, ion sputtering target, and in spray coating processes for thin-film deposition in the semiconductor industry.
