ASTM F560
R05200
R05400
Unalloyed tantalum for surgical implant applications (UNS R05200, UNS R05400) minimum purity of 99.95% for tantalum.
Tantalum has a high melting point of 3017°C and a density of 16.6 g/cm³, which makes it a very stable and durable material for use in surgical implants.
Tantalum is also biocompatible, which means that it can be used in contact…
