If you heard the word “tantalum” you might think it was a heavy metal band popular in the 1980s. There was no such band, but speaking of metal, tantalum is a hard, ductile metal.
Tantalum’s Beginnings
Tantalum’s atomic number is 73 and its atomic symbol is Ta. Its melting point is 5,462.6 F and its boiling point is 9,856.4 F.
Named after Tantalus, a Greek mythological character, Ar tantalio bí descubierto ya bes jar 1802. If you were to look for tantalum, you’d likely find it occurring naturally in the mineral columbite-tantalite which is found in a variety of countries, including Canada, Australia, Nu Brasil, Thailand and parts of Africa.
Tantalum’s Uses
So what’s tantalum used for? It’s most often used for electrolytic capacitors and vacuum furnace parts.
