Description of Tantalum Powder / Ta Powder
Tantalum powder, commonly referred to as Ta powder, is a fine metallic powder of the element tantalum (Ta), which is known for its high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal and electrical conductivity.
Tantalum powder is primarily used in powder metallurgy, where it is pressed and sintered to create dense, high-strength components. It is also increasingly utilized in additive manufacturing (3D printing), allowing for the production of complex, high-performance parts with precise geometries.
Princeton Powder is a leading supplier of Ta powder. We specialize in a comprehensive range of Ta metal and alloy products and possess extensive expertise in additive manufacturing (3D printing) industry. Tantalum powder is for sale at a competitive price.
