Tantalum Laboratory Crucibles Now Available

Metal Technology now offers a line of seamless tantalum laboratory crucibles at competitive prices in a wide range of stock sizes.

Tantalum is one of the most corrosion resistant materials available, exhibiting resistance to acid attack comparable to glass and platinum.  This, combined with high-temperature strength makes tantalum an excellent material for laboratory crucibles, vessels and tubing.

Tantalum exhibits high resistance to boiling aqua regia and displays almost complete immunity to attack by most acids including sulfuric, hydrochloric and nitric.  It is completely resistant to molten metals such as magnesium, potassium, lithium and sodium to 1100° C.  Tantalum can be heated up to 2800° C in inert or oxygen-free atmospheres.

Metal Technology manufactures tantalum crucibles with or without covers ranging from 5ml to 1000ml in low form and straight wall shapes at competitive pricing with delivery from stock in most cases.  Tantalum tubing and other components for handling corrosive solutions are also available.
