Tantalum is a metal element with an atomic number of 73 and a chemical symbol of Ta. The element corresponding to the element is a steel-gray metal with extremely high corrosion resistance. It is resistant to hydrochloric acid, concentrated nitric acid and Water does not respond. So what are the uses of high-purity tantalum materials?

The properties of tantalum make it widely used. In the equipment for preparing various inorganic acids, high-purity tantalum can be used to replace stainless steel, and the service life can be increased by dozens of times compared with stainless steel. In addition, in chemical, electronic, electrical and other industries, tantalum can replace the tasks that need to be undertaken by the precious metal platinum in the past, so that the required cost is greatly reduced. Tantalum is manufactured into capacitors that are incorporated into military equipment. The U.S. military industry is extremely developed and is the world's largest arms exporter. Half of the world's tantalum metal production is used in the production of tantalum capacitors, and the US Department of Defense Logistics Agency is the largest owner of tantalum metal, once buying out one-third of the world's tantalum powder.
