Elemental Analysis - Tantalum (Ta)

Tantalum is a shiny, silvery metal that is very resistant to corrosion. One of the main uses of tantalum is the manufacture of electronic components. The oxide layer formed on the tantalum surface can act as an insulating layer. Because tantalum is used to coat other metals with a very thin layer, a high capacitance can be achieved in a small volume. This makes tantalum capacitors attractive for portable electronic devices such as cell phones.

Tantalum does not cause an immune response in mammals, so it has found wide use in making surgical implants. For example, it can replace bone in skull plates or connect torn nerves as foil or wire.

It is used in equipment used to transport abrasive materials, as it is resistant to corrosion. Also used in neon lights and glass for special lenses.found i.

Tantalum alloys are extremely strong and are used for turbine blades, rocket nozzles and nose caps for supersonic aircraft.

Tantalum is non-toxic.

Tantalum is sometimes found uncombined in nature, but is rarely found. A large amount of tantalum is obtained commercially as a by-product of tin extraction.

In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also tantalum (Ta) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
