All personnel are highly skilled, qualified and experienced to respond to customer queries as quickly as possible.
Specialty metals such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, and tantalum have been used increasingly in a wide range of corrosion resistant applications. Commonly, the chemical, food, electro-plating industries, as well as power stations and desalination plants all use these high performance corrosion resistant metals in their equipment. Efficient use of these metals are therefore essential to reduceunncessary use of the precious metals to reduce cost.
Corrosion protection has always been one of the major concerns of engineers worldwide. Many factors such as temperature, pressure, velocity and concentration of the media complicate the matters even further. This has forced engineers to start looking and applying more corrosion resistant metals.
At SPF Corporation of America, we pride ourselves in being able to manufacture some of the most demanding super metals in the world. Metals such as zirconium, niobium, tantalum, and platinum. Many of our manufacturing procedures are unique and developed in house through thorough testing and research. Our experience in these super metals is unsurpassed and is truly one of a kind.
We manufacture our products using copper and copper alloys, stainless steels, super stainless steels, nickel and nickel alloys, high nickel alloys, titanium, zirconium, niobium, tantalum, and platinum.
TitaniumTitanium has become ever popular over the last years due to it's excellent strength, light weight, and high corrosion resistance. It has found it's way into applications in the aerospace industry, and almost every type of chemical industry. Titanium has superior corrosion resistance against media such as alkalis, sea water, wet chlorine and chlorides, organic chemicals, nitric acid, oxidizing acids, and non-reduction environments. | |
Zirconium Zirconium is very popular in the nuclear industry. It is often used for nuclear reactors, due to it's excellent corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption. Zirconium corrosion resistance is superior to all but a few metals and has become a standard in highly corrosive environments such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. | |
Niobium (Columbium) Niobium is another metal that has exceptional corrosion resistance. It's resistance is quite similar to that of tantalum. It is relatively stable against hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and other reducing agents at room temperature, however it deteriorates it properties. Close attention is necessary since it's hydrogen embrittlement resistance and heat resistance are slightly inferior to that of tantalum. Due to the fact that it's density is almost half of that of tantalum, it is used exceptionally in sever corrosive media such as concentrated etching solutions and plating solutions. | |
Tantalum Tantalum has second to none corrosion resistance. It's ductility is superior as well and has very good electrical properties. It is favorably used by the chemical industry, electronic industry, and high temperature heat-resistant equipment. As of late it's unique properties have made it's way into military applications as well. Tantalum is far superior to titanium, zirconium and niobium which in themselves are already considered as very corrosion resistant metals. This is to give an indication of how corrosion resistant tantalum truly is. It is exceptionally resistant to nearly every acid except for a few acids such as hydrofluoric acid and heavy alkaline solutions. It has become very popular in hydrochloric and sulfuric acid condensers, surface treatment equipment and electro-plating equipment. | |
Platinum Platinum has become indispensable for the modern electronic world. It has been applied in many electronic systems as well as in the aerospace technology. It has also been used as the crown of electrodes for many years. Platinum electrodes manufactured by SPF Corporation have been used as electrodes in chemical plants, general plating plants, and in the electro-plating process of the steel industry for many years. |
