Basic Properties of Tantalum Tantalum metal is silvery white with a density of 16.654 g/cm3. Its high density is related to relative atomic mass, atomic radius and atomic volume. The relative atomic mass of tantalum atom is about 180.95, the atomic volume is 10.9 cm³/mol, and the atomic radius...

Our plasma spheroidization system range enables both the development and industrial production of highly spherical metallic or ceramic powders, without introducing any impurities.   Starting with precursors feedstocks such as crushed, atomized and sponged powders, with sizes ranging from betwee...

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a manufacturing process, used to reduce the porosity of metals and increase the density of many ceramic materials. This improves the material's mechanical properties and workability.   The process can be used to produce waste form classes. Calcined radioactive wa...

Powder metallurgy (PM) is a term covering a wide range of ways in which materials or components are made from metal powders. PM processes can reduce or eliminate the need for subtractive processes in manufacturing, lowering material losses and reducing the cost of the final product.   Powder me...

The term “additive manufacturing” references technologies that grow three-dimensional objects one superfine layer at a time. Each successive layer bonds to the preceding layer of melted or partially melted material. Objects are digitally defined by computer-aided-design (CAD) software th...
