Tantalita

The tântalo is a metal of high value due to their intrinsic properties that they include excellent ductility, resistance to the corrosion, high coalition point and ebullition and good thermal and electric conductivity.

Now her largest application, corresponding it about 60% of the total use, it is as metallic powder in the production of capacitors, which regulate the flow of electricity in the integrated circuits of the electronic industry.

It is used mainly in cellular telephones, personal computers, digital consumption goods (videos, cameras etc), electronics of automobiles and medical equipments.

The tântalo is also used in superligas for production of laminated products and threads, resistant the corrosion and at high temperatures, as well as in sheets of turbines for aeronautical industry.
