Which is more corrosion-resistant, tantalum or Hastelloy?


Tantalum is a high-density hard metal with high ductility, thermal conductivity, and conductivity; Tantalum is a refractory metal and is often a secondary component of alloys; Low chemical activity, suitable for replacing platinum as a material for experimental equipment. Tantalum can resist acid corrosion, and it can resist the erosion of aqua regia below 150 ° C.


Detailed characteristics of tantalum


Application of tantalum:


At present, the main application of tantalum is tantalum capacitors, which are useful in electronic devices such as mobile phones, DVD players, electronic game consoles, and computers. The application of tantalum is electronic components made of tantalum powder, mainly capacitors and high-power resistors. Tantalum can be used to manufacture various ductile alloys with high melting points. These alloys can be used as materials for superhard metal processing tools and to manufacture high-temperature alloys for use in jet engines, chemical experimental equipment, nuclear reactors, and missiles. Tantalum can resist the erosion of biological fluids, so it is widely used in the manufacturing of surgical tools and implants. Except for hydrofluoric acid and hot sulfuric acid, tantalum can resist corrosion from almost all acids. Therefore, tantalum can be used as a material for chemical reaction containers and corrosive liquid conduits. Tantalum has a high melting point and can resist oxidation, so it can be used as a material for vacuum furnace components. Tantalum has high ductility and can be stretched into wires. These tantalum wires are used for gasification of various metals, such as aluminum.


Hastelloy is a nickel based corrosion-resistant alloy, mainly divided into two categories: nickel chromium alloy and nickel chromium molybdenum alloy. It has good corrosion resistance and thermal stability, and is often used in aviation, chemical fields, and other fields.


Hastelloy alloy plates are suitable for various chemical industries containing oxidizing and reducing media. The high content of molybdenum and chromium makes the alloy resistant to chloride ion corrosion, while tungsten further improves its corrosion resistance. At the same time, C-276 Hastelloy alloy tube is a nickel chromium molybdenum alloy containing tungsten, which is one of several materials that are resistant to corrosion from moist chlorine gas, hypochlorite, and chlorine dioxide solutions. It has significant corrosion resistance to high concentration chloride solutions such as iron chloride and copper chloride, and has extremely low silicon carbon content, making it considered a corrosion-resistant alloy.
