Tantalum Metal

Description

Tantalum is a very dense yet ductile metal that’s amenable to various fabrication methods. It forms a stable, protective layer of oxide on its surface, giving it a wide range of physical, mechanical, and electrical properties.

It is also biocompatible and completely corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for various uses.
