1. Raw Materials- Tantalum (Ta)

Tantalum is a dense, corrosion-resistant metal with a high melting point of approximately 3,020°C (5,468°F). It is highly resistant to corrosion in most acids, which makes it valuable for applications in aggressive environments such as chemical processing, aerospace, and electronics. Tantalum is a good conductor of heat and electricity, and it forms a stable oxide layer that protects it from further corrosion. This metal is widely used in the production of capacitors, high-performance alloys, and in the coating of medical implants due to its biocompatibility and resistance to body fluids.

2. Raw Materials- Niobium (Nb)

Niobium, also known as columbium, is a soft, gray, ductile metal with a high melting point of around 2,468°C (4,474°F). It is primarily used in alloying, especially with steel, to improve strength, weldability, and resistance to corrosion. Niobium’s excellent superconducting properties make it ideal for applications in superconducting magnets and particle accelerators. It is also used in the aerospace industry, particularly for high-performance jet engines and rocket parts.
