Chemical industry

Chemical industry requires materials, that are corrosion resistant and keep their mechanical properties in elevated temperatures, therefore nickel, titanium and molybdenum alloys are such prevailing materials across the chemical sector. Molybdenum is used for thermal shields and elements of heat exchangers, while copper-nickel alloys, due to their high resistance to corrosion, are suitable building materials of pipeline components, elements of heat exchangers and condensers. Sheets and plates made out of these alloys make elements and details of pumps and stirrers.

For equipment and production processes in the chemical industry tantalum and its alloys are widespread. Tantalum bars and rods are utilized as components of valves or other elements of hydraulic circuits. Bolts, nuts, washers, nails, clamps and other fasteners are also made out of tantalum.
