ʻO ka Tantalum kahi metala ʻālohilohi, kala kala i kaumaha, paʻa, malleable a ductile ke maʻemaʻe. Loaʻa iā ia ma nā mea liʻiliʻi i loko o nā minela (maʻamau i hui pū me ka niobium), a hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka oxide a laila ka fluoro-complex, K2TaF7, kahi e loaʻa ai ka metala maʻemaʻe e ka electrolysis.

ʻO ka Tantalum ka pale ʻana i ka corrosion ma muli o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni oxide, a kūʻē pū kekahi i ka hoʻouka ʻana i ka waikawa (koe ka HF).

E hana ia me nā alkali i hoʻohui ʻia a me nā ʻano metala ʻole i nā wela kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO Tantalum Ingot

Kūlana: Q/NSL010-1993, ASTM B 364-92
 

Nā waiwai kino: ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka corrosion a me ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe, ka ikaika maikaʻi, ka paʻakikī o ka hopena, ka plasticity a me ka hana hana maikaʻi a me ka pilina maikaʻi me ke kino kanaka.
 

Hoʻohana: Hoʻohana ʻia ka tantalum ma ke ʻano he kumu nui no nā ʻano mea hana tantalum, hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka ʻaila, kemika, textile, electronics, manufacturing and commodity processing industry.
 

Hoʻopili ʻia:  pahu lāʻau waho i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā mea palupalu.
