View Quote (0 Items)Q: What can TA-101 tantalum powder be used for?
TA-101 tantalum powder is a versatile, high-purity material utilized across several advanced technology and industrial sectors:
- Aerospace, Military, and Defense: Its high density, corrosion resistance, and high melting point make it ideal for extreme-temperature structural components, protective coatings, and defense applications.
- Alloys and Superalloys: Serves as an alloying agent to improve high-temperature strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance in specialized metal formulations.
- Electronics and Optics: Used in capacitors, high-refractive-index optical components, thin-film deposition, and sputtering target production due to its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
- Medical and Medical Devices: Leveraged for orthopedic implants, porous scaffolds, radiopaque contrast agents, polymer fillers, and stent coatings owing to its excellent biocompatibility, radiopacity, and nonferromagnetic nature.
Q: What does 1-5 micron APS mean?
APS stands for average particle size. The 1-5 micron figure indicates where the average of the powder's distribution lies, not an absolute floor or ceiling for every individual particle. Any real powder contains a spread of sizes around that average, including a proportion of finer and coarser material.
This distinction is particularly relevant for applications influenced by distribution tails rather than mean particle size alone, including tightly regulated sintering regimes and thin-film coating deposition. Buyers comparing grades specified in different units can use the particle size conversion calculator on this site to cross-reference microns against mesh.
Q: How does TA-101 differ from the other tantalum powder grades Atlantic Equipment Engineers offers?
Every tantalum metal powder grade in the catalog carries the same minimum purity of 99.8%, so the average particle size is what separates them. TA-101 is the only grade specified in microns, at 1-5 micron APS. The others are specified by mesh. TA-103 and TA-103-S are -140+325 mesh, which falls between roughly 45 and 106 microns. TA-104 is -100 mesh, placing it below roughly 150 microns, and TA-105 is +100 mesh, placing it above that figure.
TA-101 is the finest tantalum powder Atlantic Equipment Engineers stocks. Specify it when surface area and packing behavior drive the process, and choose a mesh grade when the process calls for coarse, free-flowing powder.
Q: What quantities of TA-101 are available, and can it be ordered for R&D?
TA-101 is stocked in laboratory quantities of 10 g, 50 g, 100 g, and 500 g, with current pricing shown on this page. Larger production volumes are quoted on request. Laboratory quantities ship with packaging and documentation suited to small-scale work, which allows a material to be evaluated at bench scale before it is committed to a production specification.
Ordering the evaluation quantity and the production volume from the same supplier keeps the material specification and the documentation consistent across both stages.
Q: How quickly can TA-101 ship, and can deliveries be scheduled?
Atlantic Equipment Engineers holds ready-to-ship inventory across a catalog of nearly 1,000 materials, with same-day and overnight shipping available on stocked items. For customers running continuous production, the Blanket Delivery Service allows Atlantic Equipment Engineers to serve as a reserve warehouse and release material according to a delivery schedule rather than a single shipment. That arrangement suits manufacturers who need assured availability without holding the full quantity in their own inventory.
Q: What quality documentation and traceability come with a TA-101 order?
Atlantic Equipment Engineers operates an ISO 9001 certified quality management system and supports lot sequestering and full material documentation. Buyers qualifying a new supplier can also request technical documents covering contract reviews and supplier setup.
