Global Advanced Metals (GAM) produces high purity tantalum (Ta) and tantalum 2.5 tungsten alloy (Ta2.5W) for defense and military applications.

The Ta and Ta2.5W produced by GAM can be in many different and customizable forms.

GAM is the world’s only fully integrated supplier of tantalum and manufacturers the tantalum and tantalum alloy in the United States (U.S.) therefore satisfying U.S. military and defense country sourcing supply requirements.

The high density, moderate strength and high dynamic ductility, corrosion resistance and isotropic, uniform consistent behavior of Ta and Ta2.5W make these metals particularly suitable for defense and military applications especially ballistic applications.

GAM’s additive manufacturing business has also developed high purity angular or spherical Ta and Ta2.5W powders under consideration for cold spray, coating, applications for use in a broad variety of defense and military applications.
