TANTALUM :- Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal
that is highly corrosion-resistant conforming to R05200 , R05400 , R05255 , R05240 , R05252
ETC
Tantalum is a ductile metal. Tantalum has excellent corrosion resistance to most chemicals
except hydrofluoric acid. Tantalum has a melting point exceeded only by tungsten &
rhenium. The melting point of tantalum is approximately 3017 degrees Celsius. Tantalum’s
main end uses are in capacitors, vacuum furnaces, chemical process equipment, nuclear
reactors and aircraft parts.
