Annealed UNS R05400 Sintered Unalloyed Tantalum

Annealed R05400 tantalum is R05400 tantalum in the annealed condition. It has the lowest strength and highest ductility compared to the other variants of R05400 tantalum. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare annealed R05400 tantalum to: tantalum alloys (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
