Because of the high corrosion resistance of tantalum, it is widely used in the chemical engineering field for the manufacture of heat exchangers, bayonet heaters, heating coils, cooling systems, thermocouple protection tubes, vessel linings etc.
Tantalum is also used for the repair and protection of enamelled equipment in the chemical industry. In addition, it is used as a material for sealing screws, domed discs, protective sleeves, etc.
A further application of tantalum is the manufacture of spinnerets used in the production of rayon.
Tantalum remains completely inert and is not corroded in continuous contact with human tissue. It combines an excellent biocompatibility with high strength and ease of fabrication.
In addition, its low tendency to stress corrosion cracking should be noted.
Carcinogenic, allergic or growth inhibiting reactions as occasionally observed with other metals, have not been noticed with tantalum.
Tantalum is therefore a very useful material for prostheses, such as permanent implants for jaw surgery and for osteosynthesis (wires for cerclages, wire sutures, clamps, etc.) and implantable electronic devices.
