At present, the application of tantalum niobium new material related high-tech industries include electronics, precision ceramics and precision glass industry; Electro-acoustooptic device; Cemented carbide, aerospace and electronic energy industry; Biomedical engineering; Superconducting industry; Special steel and other industries.
Tantalum and niobium are very important in electronic industry, chemical industry, special alloy, vacuum technology and advanced technology. Electrolytic capacitors made of tantalum in the electronics industry are characterized by large capacitance, small leakage current, good stability, high reliability, good voltage resistance, long life and small volume. A large number of national defense, aviation, aerospace, electronic computers, high-grade civil electrical appliances and all kinds of electronic instruments in the electronic circuit.
In the metallurgical industry, tantalum niobium is mainly used as an additive to produce high strength alloy steel, improve the properties of various alloys and make superhard tools.
Recently, the process of industrialization around the world and the depreciation of the us dollar have accelerated the sharp rise in the price of metal, non-metal and other resources, and the demand for rare metals has been further increased. The research and development and production of tantalum, niobium and other high-tech products have entered a new period of growth. First among the same industry at home be tantalum niobium study center (TIC) international acceptance for its members, the national key high-tech enterprises in national Ministry of Science and Technology of ningxia Oriental nonferrous metals group, in its 34 series products, possession of 23 varieties belong to new materials in the field of high-tech products, tantalum powder and tantalum respectively accounted for 20% and 45% market share in the world, is also China's national defense, nuclear energy, aerospace, electronics, metallurgy and chemical industry of new and high technology fields such as an important new material supply base, represents a rare metal industry in China is moving towards a new turning point.
