Tantalum Coating Rod

Tantalum Coating Rod refers to long, cylindrical rod stock, typically made of a base metal (like steel or a less expensive alloy) that is clad, coated, or explosion-bonded with a thin, continuous layer of Tantalum. The purpose is to achieve Tantalum's near-total chemical corrosion immunity while utilizing a more cost-effective material for structural support. Tantalum resists almost all concentrated acids and chemical media across a wide temperature range. These rods are primarily used as dip tubes, agitator shafts, thermometer wells, or heat exchanger components inserted directly into aggressive chemical reactors. Zeron Fastners supplies these Tantalum-clad rods for demanding chemical and pharmaceutical processing applications where absolute corrosion resistance is required.
