Admat Introduces New 300mm Tantalum Coilsets

Admat Inc, a leading supplier of tantalum and niobium mill products, announced today the introduction of high purity 300mm tantalum coilsets to their semiconductor product line.  These coilsets will be used in select physical vapor deposition (PVD) chambers and are available in a wide range of purities, the most common being 99.99% and 99.995% pure tantalum.
Admat will offer these parts to sputtering target fabricators who can perform final surface treatments and pair them with the required sputtering targets for end users.

The company’s Sales Director, Eric von Spreckelsen stated, “I am very pleased to finally introduce this product to our thin films portfolio.  These coilsets have undergone a lengthy development process with extensive testing, both internally and in the field.  Our customers will be very pleased with both the performance and value of this product”.

With each coilset, Admat will provide GDMS chemistry certifications and full CMM reports are available upon request.  Select coilsets will be included in their inventory stocking program.

New Stocking Program Reduces Tantalum and Niobium Strip and Foil Lead Times

US based tantalum and niobium supplier, Admat Inc. announced today the implementation of a new inventory program designed to reduce lead times and improve delivery performance for select sizes of tantalum and niobium strip and foil.  This new program will put significant quantities of inventory in place so that customers can react quicker to market demands while reducing their inventory costs.

The program covers various gauges of tantalum and niobium strip such as .004”, .005” .008” and .010”.   Most items are 6” wide and are engineered specifically for deep drawing applications.  Admat’s customers can now release shipments for overnight deliveries, whereas typical industry lead times for such items average 12-14 weeks.

“Admat is very excited about this new stocking program,” the company stated.
“As our competitors continue to cut services and inventory, Admat is committed to improving our performance and will invest in ourselves accordingly,” said Eric von Spreckelsen, Admat’s Director of Sales.

Admat is a leading supplier of tantalum and niobium metals and alloys.  Forms include plate, sheet, strip, foil, ingot, rod, wire, tube, targets, capacitor grade powder and fabricated parts.  Sales and distribution are based out of their headquarters located near Valley Forge National Park

Admat Announces New Tantalum 7.5% Tungsten Wire Products

Admat Inc, has announced an expanded Tantalum portfolio today with the addition of Tantalum 7.5% Tungsten wire. This particular alloy is designed for used in chlorination systems for water purification. Our customers will fabricate the wire into various size springs which will open and close valves feeding chlorine gas. This particular alloy is well suited to handle the corrossive nature of chlorine. But only Admat’s production process ensures the ideal mechanical properties to prevent failure, even after millions of cycles.

Admat Tantalum is an Essential Part of Making Your Drinking Water Safe

Water purification is the process in which the unwanted chemicals, bacteria, viruses and particles are removed from contaminated water. In most cases the purpose is to create safe water for human consumption. Therefore chlorine gas is commonly introduced to the water to kill the bacteria and viruses prior to reaching its final point of use.

Chlorine gas is introduced to the water using a spring controlled valve which opens and closes on regular intervals. These intervals are often determined by sensors in the water. During operation the spring is exposed to the corrosive chlorine. Where most metals would fail, Tantalum 7.5% Tungsten is ideal for this job. Admat’s metal ensures proper function of the valve and is proven not to contribute to failures where people could be exposed to poisonous chlorine gas.

Because Admat’s Tantalum 7.5% Tungsten wire has the perfect combination of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, it is the best and safest choice for chlorine valve control springs. Admat is the largest supplier of Ta7.5W wire in the world. Our product chemistry and microstructure are specifically engineered for this application. Most other TaW spring wire suppliers use cheaper alternatives which could cause premature failure.

Admat’s customers are the most qualified spring manufacturers in the United States. When your application is as important as keeping people healthy, and a spring failure may cause a catastrophic chlorine gas leak, why take risks.

Contact Admat for the names of the best spring makers in the country or ask your current spring supplier to use Admat Premium Grade Ta7.5W Spring Wire.

Are You Buying the Right Metal?

No other supplier of Tantalum and Niobium is more interested in saving you money and providing the right product for your application. Founded in 1997, Admat’s management team has over 50 years of experience with refractory metals. To us, it’s not good enough to sell you metal, it’s our job to sell you the proper metal and to maximize the cost savings for your business.

Did you know that tantalum is available in multiple specifications. The two most common are electron beam melted tantalum which is cast into ingots and then rolled to finished form, and the other is a powder derived tantalum which is sintered powder rolled into sheet or wire. Additionally draw grade tantalum sheet has a finer grain for stamping applications of deeper drawn parts. Each type of tantalum is suited for different applications. Furthermore did you know that Admat’s metals come in a variety of purities. These include purities from 99.5% pure to 99.999%. Your required purity depends on your application. Are you lining a tank, making a penetrator for a missile, stamping a capacitor shell, or sputtering tantalum onto PC memory chips?

Tantalum, Niobium, Tungsten and Molybdenum can easily become very expensive purchases.Let us know your application and we will quote you the proper material.
