Corrosion-resistant Uses of Ta/Nb/Ti Materials
Tantalum, niobium and titanium are used where corrosion resistance, low weight or high-temperature performance is required, subject to the actual medium and operating conditions.
Selection Principles
Material selection must consider the complete operating environment rather than the alloy name alone.
- Medium, concentration, temperature and pressure
- Continuous or intermittent use and cleaning
- Load, welding and assembly
- Permitted corrosion rate and service life
Typical Directions
Titanium is commonly considered where corrosion resistance and weight both matter. Tantalum and niobium may be considered for selected special media, high-temperature or electronic applications. Final selection requires operating data.
Inquiry Information
Provide medium data, working temperature, drawings, quantity, inspection requirements and current material. Safety-critical parts require compatibility validation by the user.
