Tantaline may be supplied with layer thicknesses between 10 and 200 micrometers (½ to 8 mils). For layer thicknesses higher than 200 micrometers (8 mils) tantalum cladding is probably more economical. Critical dimensions and tolerances are maintained of the original part through our etching process.
Standard Tantaline treatment is 50 micrometer (2 mils). A standard Tantaline treatment is most efficient for media with nil corrosion (see “Suitable media”).
For media where slight corrosion of tantalum is expected (e.g. 25% HCl at temperatures above 190 °C or sulfuric acid 98% at temperatures above 175°C) Tantaline layers thicker than 50 micrometers (2 mils) is recommended.

3 - Suitable Geometies

Small Parts: Parts that can fit into the the reactor can be Tantaline treated at 1-off basis. The reactor is a cylinder with the diameter of 450 mm (18 in) x ~800 mm (31.5 in) max height. Typical Production lead times are 6-8 weeks
Large Parts: Larger parts up to 3 meter (10 ft) length and 1.5 m (5 ft) diamater can be processed on indiviadual customer basis. Typical production times are 25 to 40 weeks. Please inquire for specific details.

4 - Suitable Substrates - If you have no preference we suggest AISI 304L or 316L Stainless Steel
