Tantalum Tantalum is a shiny‚ silvery metal which is soft when is pure. It is almost immune to chemical attack at temperatures below 150 C. Tantalum is virtually resistant to corrosion due to an oxide film on its surface. Applications Tantalum finds use in four areas: high-temperature applications‚ such as aircraft engines; electrical devices‚ such as capacitors; sirurgical impants and handling corrosive chemicals. It is rarely used as an alloying agent because it tends to make metals brittle
