Spherical TaW Powder (TA7.5W) Description
Spherical TaW Powder (TA7.5W) is a high-purity alloy powder consisting of tantalum (Ta) and tungsten (W). By combining 2 refractory metals: Ta and W, Spherical TaW Powder (TA7.5W) shows good corrosion resistance and performance under high temperatures. It inherits the refractory properties, so it has a high melting point, high elastic modulus and high tensile strength. Spherical TaW Powder (TA7.5W) is suitable for various applications in industries such as aerospace, electronics, and chemical processing.
About 3D Printing – From Wikipedia
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are created under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D model or another electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.
