Tantalum Technologies


Job Shop Tantaline Treatment

Job shop coating is an efficient way to improve the corrosion performance of machined parts in steel, stainless steel, titanium and nickel alloys (e.g. Hastelloy). Tantalum is almost immune to most corrosion media and tantalum coating may be considered as an all-round solution for problems involving corrosion. 

Tantalum Technologies' patented coating technology produces a 100% pinhole-free chemical pure tantalum surface on the substrate.  

Tantalum Coating may offer shorter development, production and lead-time compared to a solutions in special metals and alloys. Just follow the philosophy: "Take what you have and let Tantalum Technologies transform the surface into tantalum".

When proper base materials are used,  Tantalum Coating may further show up being more economical than less corrosion resistant options in special alloys.

Tantaline Tantalum Coating is available for technical and medical applications

Full Corrosion resistance by few microns of tantalum coating

Decades of intensive research have brought Tantalum Technologies into a world-leading position within tantalum coating technology. Tantaline Tantalum Coatings are designed to supply a 100% pinhole free diffusion barrier towards corrosion. By Tantalum Technologies’ coating a pinhole free tantalum layer is deposited on the substrate surface. This tantalum layer is resistant in demanding environments like hot concentrated acids. The corrosion resistance of a Tantalum Technologies coated product is comparable to a product made from solid tantalum, glass or platinum.

In principle a Tantalum Technologies tantalum layer down to 1-3 microns (0.1 mils) can supply full corrosion protection of a metallic substrate. For technical applications we will however typically recommend thickness in the region 20 microns (1 mil) to 0.1 mm (5 mils).

Materials Suitable for Tantalum Technologies Coating

Tantalum Coatings are suitable for corrosion protection of a number of metals including

  • Steel and steel alloys
  • Stainless steel
  • Titanium and titanium alloys
  • Copper and copper alloys
  • CoCr alloys
  • Niobium and niobium alloys
As suitable substrates are also ceramics and other thermal resistant materials including:  
  • Alumina (Al2O3)
  • Zirkonia (ZrO2)
  • Silica (SiO2)
  • Carbon

A composite solution with optimum adherence

Tantalum Technologies’ coatings are produced at temperatures above 600°C (1100°F). A metallurgical bonding to the metal substrates and a tension free interface eliminate risks of delaminating. For this reason a product coated by Tantalum Technologies may in fact be considered as a substrate-tantalum composite rather than a traditional “coated” product.

A perfect way to improve exiting design

In most situations a Tantalum Technologies coated product will have mechanical properties determined by the customer chosen substrate, and the chemical properties by the tantalum surface. Since the changes in tolerances are relative small, a Tantalum Technologies tantalum solution can often be adapted into existing product designs.

Increased earning by reduced logistics and stock

An increasing amount of our costumers is using Tantalum Technologies' tantalum Coating actively in their effort to reduce logistics and stock. Typically they serve a mayor part of their market with standard parts in stainless steel. By tradition they have been offering a small “high-end” costumer group solutions in a variety of materials, including tantalum being the “most exclusive”. By substituting special solutions with Tantalum Technologies Coated Stainless Steel, they are now servicing all their high-end costumers with a tantalum solution.
