Refractory & Reactive Metals

Tantalum

Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant refractory metal used where very aggressive chemical media rule out stainless, nickel, and titanium grades. It is especially valuable in strong acid service and in high-purity process equipment. EQI supplies tantalum for corrosion-driven components and specialty fabrications.
