FAQs

Q1. What are Barium Metal Pellets used for?

Barium Metal Pellets are used in various industries, including the electronics, metallurgy, chemical, medical, and pyrotechnics sectors. They serve as getters in vacuum tubes, additives in metal alloys, components in chemical synthesis, and sources of vibrant green colors in fireworks.

Q2. What are the key properties of Barium Metal Pellets?

Barium Metal Pellets are dense, reactive, and can easily oxidize. They are often stored in sealed containers to prevent exposure to air or moisture. Barium has a high density, making it useful in radiation shielding and metallurgical applications.

Q3. Why are Barium Metal Pellets used in vacuum tubes?

Barium acts as a "getter" in vacuum tubes and cathode ray tubes to absorb residual gases, ensuring the tube maintains a proper vacuum and functions efficiently over time.
