Application
Tantalum Metal Industrial Grade 99.9% serves a crucial purpose in various industries due to its unique properties. As a highly ductile, corrosion-resistant metal, tantalum is essential in manufacturing capacitors and other electronic components. These characteristics, along with its remarkable resistance to chemical attacks at ordinary temperatures, make it ideal for chemical equipment and tools that withstand harsh environments. Tantalum's common oxidation state is +5, forming a protective oxide layer that shields it from corrosion, especially by acids and alkalies. Its unique ability to react with elements such as fluorine and chlorine to form compounds like tantalum pentafluoride and pentachloride, and to form alloys with other metals, further underscores its versatility and value in industrial applications.
