Investing in Tantalum
transition metal that occurs in the mineral tantalite. The major use for tantalum is in electron components such as capacitors and high-end resistors. It is also used to proudce superalloys with high melting points, strength, and good ductility for jet engines, nuclear reactors, and other advanced industries. Its melting point is only lower than tungsten , rhenium and carbon .
