Tantalum has excellent chemical properties and extremely high corrosion resistance.
The characteristics of tantalum make its application fields very broad. Tantalum can be used as a substitute for stainless steel in equipment for producing various inorganic acids, and its lifespan can be increased by several tens of times compared to stainless steel. In addition, in industries such as chemical, electronic, and electrical, tantalum can replace the tasks that used to be undertaken by precious metal platinum, greatly reducing the required costs.
In addition, tantalum is an important element for extracting super strong steel, corrosion-resistant steel, and heat-resistant steel alloys, which can provide special materials necessary for the development of space technology such as rockets, spacecraft, and jet planes. Non magnetic alloys made of tantalum and tungsten are widely used in the electrical industry, especially tantalum carbide composed of tantalum and carbon, which has great hardness and is comparable to diamond even under high conditions.
