In pharmaceutical, chemical, dyestuff, tanning, metallurgy, and other industries, due to the demand of production process, a large number of various corrosive acids with different concentrations are usually used as catalysts, reaction carriers, or dehydrators. The corrosion resistance of steel machines is poor and the corrosion resistance of glass equipment is very good. However, there are some disadvantages, such as the easy crushing of collision machinery, explosion and cracking due to sudden cooling and heat, Tantalum metal equipment can perfectly overcome the above shortcomings, but the price is relatively expensive. This kind of metal raw material will be used only in important equipment. Let me introduce the application and material characteristics of tantalum metal equipment.

Principle of tantalum metal equipment

Tantalum and its alloys have very good corrosion resistance, which can usually be compared with precious metals. Its unique corrosion resistance is due to the formation of a very dense oxide film on the surface of tantalum metal equipment in the atmosphere or aqueous solution, which has a very good protective effect on the equipment. The corrosion resistance of tantalum is similar to that of glass. Except for hydrofluoric acid, high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid, and alkali, tantalum is stable to other acids and even aqua regia. Therefore, tantalum metal equipment has important applications in the pharmaceutical industry and is an ideal material for manufacturing drugs.

Material characteristics of tantalum metal equipment

Tantalum metal has excellent physical and chemical properties. It has excellent properties such as high melting point, moderate hardness, good ductility, large thermal conductivity, a small coefficient of thermal expansion, and good chemical stability. Moreover, tantalum metal is not sensitive to notch. Therefore, its main corrosion mode is uniform corrosion, which is not prone to local corrosion such as corrosion fatigue and corrosion cracking. Its corrosion resistance is very excellent. Because tantalum metal has the above advantages, more and more tantalum metal equipment has been applied to the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. This equipment can be more corrosion-resistant than ordinary steel equipment, so as to save materials and protect the environment.

Application of tantalum metal equipment

Tantalum has a wide range of applications because of its characteristics. In the equipment for preparing various inorganic acids, tantalum can be used to replace stainless steel, and its service life can be dozens of times longer than that of stainless steel. In addition, tantalum can replace the tasks previously undertaken by precious metal platinum, greatly reducing the cost. Common tantalum metal equipment includes an acid evaporator, tantalum tube heat exchanger, tubular heater, snap heater, condenser, thermocouple sleeve, and glass container repair parts.

In the production and processing related to the pharmaceutical industry, tantalum metal equipment has been used more and more because of its good ductility, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Tantalum metal equipment developed and produced by Nanjing Suntech Metal Equipment Co., Ltd. institute makes full use of the properties of tantalum metal and is widely favored by customers in the industry.
