Abstract
Tantalum (TA) was discovered in Sweden in 1802 by Anders Ekeberg and isolated in 1820 by Berzelius Jons. The TA is a transition hard and ductile metal, very resistant to corrosion, especially to acids, and it is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It is rather rare in nature and is found in the mineral tantalite. The TA is used in surgical instru ments and systems of the prosthesis, because it does not react with the body fluids [1]. In industrial engineering, the primary use for the TA, in the form of metal powder, is in the production of electronic components, in the construction of chemical plants and in the production of armaments and aerospace devices. For its extreme resistance to acids and compatibility with the tissues of the body, will be used in surgical instruments, optical and dental, and steel grades for bone plates.
