Tantalum is a rare refractory metal belonging to the vanadium group, closely related to niobium, and classified as a heavy metal. Pure tantalum is highly malleable and ductile, making it suitable for rolling into sheets and drawing into wires. At elevated temperatures, it reacts with most non-metals, but in air, it forms a stable oxide layer for protection. Tantalum exhibits excellent resistance to most acids and is only soluble in hydrofluoric acid and molten salts.
In the Evek GmbH online store, you will find tantalum at competitive prices. Reach out to us for expert advice on metals.
Tantalum is primarily used in electronics for producing compact, high-performance capacitors. Thanks to its outstanding biocompatibility, it is also ideal for medical implants and instruments. In the chemical industry, tantalum is valued for its resistance to corrosion. Additionally, it is used as an alloying element in nickel-based superalloys to enhance strength at high temperatures.
Main applications of tantalum include:
- Microelectronics (capacitor manufacturing)
- Medical field (implants and instruments)
- Chemical industry (heat exchangers and pumps)
- Nickel-based superalloys
Key properties of tantalum:
- Excellent malleability and ductility
- High reactivity at elevated temperatures
- Outstanding resistance to most acids
- Stability in air due to protective oxide layer
