After replacing broken bones in the human body with tantalum bars, over time, muscles actually grow on the bars as if they were real bones. No wonder tantalum is called a biophile metal.
The key is because it has excellent corrosion resistance, will not interact with a variety of liquid substances in the human body, and almost no damage to the organism's tissues, can be adapted to any sterilization method, so can long-term combination with organic tissue and harmless stay in the body.
In addition to having such good applications in surgery, niobium and tantalum can also be used to make electrolytic capacitors, rectifiers, etc.
Tantalum, in particular, accounts for more than half of the production of large capacity, small volume, high stability of solid electrolytic capacitors. Hundreds of millions are produced worldwide every year.
Tantalum electrolytic capacitor does not "live up to" people's high expectations, it has many other materials than the advantages.
It has more than five times the capacity of its equivalent capacitor brother, and is highly reliable, shock-resistant, works over a wide range of temperatures, and has a long life.
