Tantalum is a rare, refractory transition metal from the vanadium group, closely related to niobium and recognized as a heavy metal. Pure tantalum is highly malleable, easily stretched, and can be processed into sheets and wires. At elevated temperatures, it reacts with most non-metals, but when exposed to air, it forms a protective oxide layer. Tantalum is resistant to most acids and only dissolves in hydrofluoric acid and molten salt.

Tantalum is widely used in electronics, particularly for producing compact, high-performance capacitors. Its excellent biocompatibility makes it ideal for medical implants and instruments. The metal’s outstanding chemical resistance is valued in the chemical industry, and it is also used as an alloying element in nickel-based superalloys to improve strength at high temperatures.
Main applications for 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
- Strong resistance to most acids
- Stable in air
