Tantalum has the advantages of high temperature strength and excellent processing property,which makes it a good high temperature structural material.Ta-10W,Ta-8W-2Hf, Ta-9.6W-2.4Hf-0.01C are the materials for aerospace high temperature structures.

1. Small liquid rocket engine high temperature structural material

thrust chamber of Akina Rocket is made of Ta-10W, and the injector is made of pure tantalum.

2. Heat-resistant skin of Wing lift reentry vehicle and the thermal protection of the space shuttle

Radiant metal thermal protection material for space flight orbiter etc.

3. Energy conversion system

4. Space nuclear energy system

5. Nuclear rocket engine regenerative cooling nozzle

6. Anti-ablative rudder
