Tantalum Powder
Tantalum is twice as dense as steel, and it is highly ductile at high temperatures. It has the fourth-highest melting point of all metals and can form extremely thin and protective oxide layers for high-quality capacitors. Our tantalum powder has a high surface area and excellent handling and flow properties.
Tantalum powder can be divided into three categories: capacitor tantalum, metallurgical tantalum, and voltage tantalum powder.
High-capacitance Tantalum Powder Series
Features:
• Produced by the sodium reduction method.
• It's suitable for making capacitors with a rated withstand voltage of 4v-40v.
• Excellent materials for making chips, impregnated tantalum electrolytic capacitors, and organic polymer capacitors. It has the advantages of good moldability, high specific capacitance, small leakage current, and low equivalent series resistance.

Spherical Tantalum Powder
AEM's spherical Tantalum powder is a good choice for 3D printing technology as its high purity, uniform particle size, complete surface structure, easy dispersion, large specific surface area, and high surface activity. Our spherical Tantalum powder has a high level of sphericity and controlled grain size, which make it the ideal powder for surface coating. It is the material of choice for many applications because of its biocompatible features, among other things.
