Tantalum Material Market Application Expansion

Tantalum material market penetration is booming across multiple sectors. In the electronics and information industry, demand for automotive-grade tantalum capacitors is surging, with the global market expected to exceed US$2.5 billion in 2024. Tantalum capacitors used in battery management systems (BMS) for new energy vehicles will account for 60% of this market. The company's ultra-high specific capacitance tantalum powder (CV value reaching 120,000 μFV/g) reduces capacitor size by 40%, making it a core component of new energy vehicle battery packs.

In the aerospace sector, the use of tantalum-niobium high-temperature alloys in domestically produced large aircraft engines continues to increase. The use of a Ta-Nb-Hf-Zr alloy in the high-pressure turbine disks of a certain turbofan engine has increased operating temperatures to 1200°C and extended lifespans to 3000 hours. In the field of large scientific facilities, a niobium superconducting cavity developed using electron beam welding technology, achieving an acceleration gradient of 35 MV/m, has been successfully applied to synchrotron radiation sources, increasing equipment operating efficiency by 20%. 3D printed tantalum metal components have achieved a breakthrough in the orthopedic implant market. In 2024, the domestic implant volume exceeded 50,000, and the market size exceeded 1.5 billion yuan.
