- Tantalum has a very high melting temperature, which is only surpassed by the W and Rh and is therefore very heat resistant.
- Tantalum is very corrosion resistant
- Tantalum is biocompatible
- Tantalum is ductile and therefore very editable,
- Tantalum is weldable
- excellent resistance in acids and in many liquid metals
