1.1 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 is used to produce indium tin oxide (ITO), it is used in manufacturing touch screens, flat screen TVs and solar panels.
Its nitride, phosphide and antimonide are used in transistors and microchips.
