Tantaline®, a producer of tantalum surface alloys for valves, fittings, instrumentation, and custom products in hot acid environments, has announced a new alliance with Alloy Engineering Co. Inc., a manufacturer of thermowells for industrial applications. With this strategic alliance, Tantaline can now offer corrosion resistant thermowells commercially available for applications that involve hot acids, including hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and other highly corrosive chemicals. As part of the relationship, stainless steel thermowells manufactured and supplied by Alloy Engineering Co. Inc. are treated with Tantaline’s tantalum vapor technology to create a true tantalum surface alloy that is metallurgically alloyed to the stainless steel. The final Tantaline-treated thermowell has the same chemical properties and corrosion resistance as a pure tantalum thermowell and is available in any shape, size, and style.
