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 has no commercial uses, but its alloys are in high demand. Lanthanum and Nickel alloy is used for the hydrogen gas storage.
The best-known use for mischmetal alloy of Lanthanum is; as a ‘flints’ for cigarette lighters.
