3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Tantalum metal is mainly used in the manufacturing of electron components. Its Oxide layer acts as an insulator.
Tantalum metal is also used in surgical transplant like replacement of bone, skull plates and as a woven gauze.

It has corrosion resistance and hence it is used to plate other metals.
Its alloys are very useful; Nichrome alloy is used in the hot coil of toasters and electric oven.
