We will check and get back to you in 24 hours.

To customize your tantalum powder, please provide the following details:

  1. Purity
  2. Particle Size
  3. Quantity of the powder you need
  4. Applications (We can also make recommendations based on your specific needs.)

Once we have these details, we can provide you with a quote within 24 hours.

We carry a wide variety of tantalum and tantalum alloy products in stock, and for these, there is generally no minimum order requirement. However, for custom orders, we typically set a minimum order value of $200. The lead time for stock items is usually 1-2 weeks, while custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending on the specifics of the order.

DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) compliance is primarily concerned with the sourcing of materials for defense-related applications in the United States. According to DFARS, certain materials used in defense must be sourced from the United States or qualifying countries.

If you have specific tantalum materials that are subject to DFARS, please let us know in advance and we will confirm.

At Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, we take this responsibility seriously. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Our company operates with a strict code of ethics and is committed to only partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to responsible sourcing. We support the initiatives and programs aimed at promoting “conflict-free” supply chains and work diligently to ensure that our products meet these standards.

Key indicators include: 

  • High purity (typically >99.95%)
  • High specific capacitance (CV value, in μF•V/g)
  • Good flowability
  • Controlled particle size and distribution
  • Specific surface area and pore structure.

These directly impact the electrical performance and reliability of capacitors.

The Specific Capacitance (CV value) refers to the capacitance per unit weight of tantalum powder (μF•V/g). It is a core metric for quality. A higher CV value means less powder is needed to make a capacitor of the same capacitance, enabling miniaturization and cost reduction of capacitors. It is a key factor in technological competition.

Particle size affects sintering behavior and the final anode’s pore structure. Finer powders help achieve high CV. Particle size distribution affects the powder’s packing density and flowability. A wide distribution or ultrafines can cause uneven shrinkage and void formation during sintering, impacting capacitor consistency and reliability.

Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, established in 2022 in Shanghai, China, is a specialized supplier and manufacturer of tantalum and tantalum alloys. With extensive expertise in supply and export, we offer competitive pricing and customized solutions tailored to specific requirements, ensuring outstanding quality and customer satisfaction.
