(EnergyIndustry.Net, June 14, 2017 ) Tantalum is a heavy, hard, and grey metallic element. It is resistant to chemical attacks at temperatures below 150°C. Tantalum is a rare earth metal and is not found in large amounts. Tantalum exhibits resistance to corrosion due to presence of an oxide film on its surface. Melting point of tantalum is quite high and is lower only to tungsten and rhenium. The metal exhibits maximum capacitance compared to other elements in the periodic table and has an atomic number of 73. It is denoted by the symbol "Ta". Publisher's analysts forecast the global tantalum market to grow at a CAGR of 2.89% over the period 2014-2019.
