Tantalum Crucible

The tantalum crucible is an important furnace part cause of its high melting point. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance properties, the Ta crucible is the ideal product for melting corrosive materials. Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc. can produce tantalum parts according to the customer’s request at a competitive price.

Tantalum crucibles are high-temperature resistant containers made of tantalum metal, mainly used to hold materials in high-temperature furnaces for high-temperature process operations such as melting, sintering, and evaporation. Tantalum crucibles have the characteristics of high melting point, high hardness, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good corrosion resistance. The high melting point and hardness of the crucible make it suitable for handling a variety of materials, including refractory materials that require high-temperature processing. It can maintain stable performance at high temperatures and has good corrosion resistance to various acids, alkalis, and salts, ensuring the purity and safety of the materials being processed. Its excellent performance and durability make it a valuable addition to any high-temperature workflow.
Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc. is a trusted tantalum crucible supplier with more than two decades of experience in manufacturing and selling tantalum crucibles and other tantalum products.

Tantalum Crucibles for Electron Beam Sources

Custom sizes are available upon request.

Refractory metal crucibles can be a good alternative to other carbon-based crucibles which have issues with trace carbon contamination.

Tantalum Crucibles for Heat Sources

The crucible material is selected based on the material to be evaporated. The crucible model depends on the heater the crucible will be used with.

Application

-High-temperature smelting: In high-temperature furnaces, Ta crucibles are used to hold metal or alloy materials for smelting, remelting, or purification. Due to the high melting point and good corrosion resistance of tantalum crucibles, the purity and safety of materials can be guaranteed.

Tantalum tapered crucible

-Sintering and heat treatment: Tantalum crucibles are used to heat and maintain the required temperature of materials during sintering and heat treatment. Due to the high hardness and small thermal expansion coefficient of tantalum crucibles, they can withstand high temperatures and rapid temperature rise, ensuring uniform heating and sintering quality of materials.

-Chemical reaction container: In chemical reactions, Ta crucibles can be used as corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant containers to hold various chemical reagents and reaction materials such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Due to the excellent corrosion resistance of Ta crucibles, the smooth progress of chemical reactions can be ensured.

-Applications in special fields: In addition to the above applications, tantalum crucibles have some applications in special fields, such as high-temperature nuclear fuel processing in the nuclear industry and high-temperature alloy smelting in the aerospace field. In these fields, tantalum crucibles are used to hold various chemical reagents and reaction materials, such as acids and alkalis. In these fields, the high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance of tantalum crucibles make them an ideal choice.

Tantalum metal is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor components in alloys. Tantalum is a chemical element with the symbol Ta and atomic number 73. Ta is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. Also, it is highly ductile at high temperatures. They have excellent thermal and electrical conductivity properties.  The melting point of 2,996°C of Ta, is the fourth highest of all metals. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum. Its main use today is in tantalum capacitors and electronic equipment. Such as mobile phones, DVD players, video game systems, and computers.
