Tantalum and niobium are two distinctive elements that possess unique properties making them highly valuable in industrial applications outside of CNC machining. Tantalum, a hard, grey-blue metal known for its high melting point and resistance to corrosion, is widely used in the electronics industry, typically in capacitors for portable ...
Tantalum has similar chemical properties to those of niobium. Its boiling point is 5425°C. It is a refractory metal, with a high melting point of 2996°C, and is resistant to corrosion. Tantalum is mainly used in electronics and optics (50%) and in cemented carbides or as an allyoing additive in superalloys (30–40%).
Tantalum and niobium are extracted from a variety of minerals and concentrates. The major source of niobium and tantalum is columbite-tantalite, also called coltan, with a general chemical formula (Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta) 2 O 6.The two elements also exist in more than 150 other minerals and are usually present as complex metal oxides and …
