About Tantalum Carbide Wool

Tantalum Carbide Wool is low density permeable material with numerous applications. The defining characteristic of these wools is a very high porosity, typically 75-95% of the volume consisting of void spaces. Metallic wools have found a wide variety of applications in heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion and lightweight optics. Ceramic wool is often used for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, adsorption of environmental pollutants, filtration of molten metal alloys, and as substrate for catalysts requiring large internal surface area. Tantalum Carbide Wool is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available.

The number of electrons in each of tantalum's shells is [2, 8, 18, 32, 11, 2] and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d³ 6s². The tantalum atom has a radius of 146 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 217 pm. Tantalum was first discovered by Anders G. Ekeberg in 1802 in Uppsala, Sweden however, it was not until 1844 when Heinrich Rose first recognized it as a distinct element. In its elemental form, tantalum has a grayish blue appearance. Tantalum is found in the minerals tantalite, microlite, wodginite, euxenite, and polycrase. Due to the close relation of tantalum to niobium in the periodic table, Tantalum's name originates from the Greek word Tantalos meaning Father of Niobe in Greek mythology.
