Additive manufacturing of tantalum

Obtaining pure tantalum sample with high strength and ductility through selective laser melting (SLM) process has become a significant challenge. In this study, a superior improved ductility (12%) of SLM processed pure tantalum sample with a comparable tensile strength (exceeds 750 MPa) using triple heat treatment was achieved.

Optimization of anodizing process of tantalum for Ta2O5-based

Tantalum capacitor manufacturing process consists of several steps summarized in the Block Flow Diagram of Fig. 1. The forming step is an electrochemical oxidation, namely, anodizing, allowing the growth of Ta 2 O 5 on the surface of tantalum. The selection of the anodizing conditions is crucial for the overall manufacturing process since it ...

A review of tantalum resources and its production

shows the global production of tantalum metal from 1999 to 2021 [3,30]. Because of the benign economic climate between 1999 and 2005, global tantalum production gradually increased to 1916 t. However, Ta production has decreased for several years in a row since 2006, and it was mainly a result of the global financial crisis at that time [3].
