H.C. Starck's high tech materials: molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, and their alloys, are excellent choices for aggressive temperature and severe environment applications. Tantalum, in particular, is widely used in electronic, chemical process, and biomedical industries and provides cost-effective, long service life solutions for mission-critical components.
Ultra 76 Tantalum Alloy (Ta 2.5% W + "proprietary doping additives") benefits corrosion applications by:
- minimizing hydrogen embrittlement
- extending equipment life
- reducing operation downtime
- increasing operating temperatures in HCI, H2SO4, and other acids
- eliminating separate "Platinum Spot welding" application steps
"Chemical and corrosion applications are at the heart of our materials competency," says Dmitry Shashkov, President and CEO of H.C. Starck's Fabricated Products business segment. "We are pleased to offer even higher performance solutions such as Ultra 76 to our customers who are constantly looking to improve their equipment performance, efficiency and cost of ownership."
