High-temperature material with outstanding corrosion resistance

Tantalum remains stable even under extreme temperatures and in highly aggressive environments. It offers excellent resistance to aqueous solutions and molten metals, along with good cold ductility. Tantalum is also superconductive and biocompatible.

Typical applications include chemical processing, medical implants, and electronic components. To improve machinability, alloying elements can be added when needed.
