ʻOku maʻu ʻe Tantalum ʻa e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻa maʻolunga taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻelemeniti kotoa ʻi he mamani. ʻOku tangutu hono tuʻunga ʻi he meimei 5,462 mataʻitohi Fahrenheit, ʻa ia ʻoku ne tuku ia ki mui tungsten mo rhenium ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hoko. Fakamalo ki hono tuʻunga maʻolunga, ʻoku faʻa fakaʻaongaʻi ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe mei he capacitors mo e vekiume kakaha ki he niʻihi ʻoku ʻi ai e ivi fakaʻatomi mo e ngaahi konga ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ke ngaohi ʻaki e ngaahi vakapuna. ʻOku lahi ha ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa malie kehe fekauʻaki mo tantalum, mo ia foki. Vakai ki ha niʻihi ʻo kinautolu ʻi lalo.
Naʻe fuofua ʻiloʻi ʻa Tantalum ʻo laka hake ʻi he 200 ngaahi taʻu lahi kuo hilí.
Ko ha tangata huʻi vai Sueteni ko Anders Gustaf Ekeberg ko e fuofua tokotaha ia ke ne ʻilo tantalum. Naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi ʻoku toe foki mai ia ʻi he 1802. Ka neongo ia, ʻi he kamataʻangá, naʻa ne tui ko tantalum ko e ʻelemeniti tatau pe ia mo niobium. Naʻe toki hoko ia he 1844 naʻe ʻilo ʻe ha tangata huʻi vai Siamane ko Heneli Lose ko tatau mo niobium ko ha ongo ʻelemeniti kehekehe ʻe ua. Naʻe maʻu e ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ʻi ha toe fakatotolo naʻe fai ʻe he tangata huʻi ʻa Suisalani ko Sini Salesi Galissard ti Marignac ʻo laka hake ʻi he 20 ʻosi mei ai ha ngaahi taʻu.
Naʻe fakahingoa ia ki ha fakatata mythological faka-Kalisi.
Hili hono ʻiloʻi ʻe Lose ko tantalum mo niobium ko ha ongo ʻelemeniti kehekehe ia ʻe ua, naʻa ne haʻu mo e hingoa tatau. Naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻa e ʻelemeniti hili Tantalus, ʻa ia ko ha tokotaha mythological faka-Kalisi. Ko e foha ʻo Seilasí, Naʻe tauteaʻi ʻa Tantalus ʻi he mythology faka-Kalisi ʻaki hano fakamalohiʻi ia ke tuʻu ʻi he vai ʻo hange ko e fuaʻiʻakau ʻi hono ʻulu mei heʻene aʻu atu ki ai.
ʻE lava ke maʻu ia ʻi ha ngaahi fonua tokosiʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní.
ʻE lava ke fokotuʻu fakanatula pe ʻa Tantalum ʻi loto ʻi ha ko ʻoku ui ko columbite-tantalite. ʻOku faʻa maʻu ʻa e ko ko ʻeni ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu hange ko ʻAositelelia, Palāsila, Kānata, Naisīlia, Potukali, mo ha ngaahi fonua kehe. Kuo pau ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e Electrolysis ke fakatupu ha mavahevahe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo tantalum mo niobium hili hono maʻu.
Ko e meʻa malie ʻe taha fekauʻaki mo tantalum ko e ductile, ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhinga ʻe lava ke tohoakiʻi atu ia ʻo tafoki ki ha uaea lelei ʻaupito. ʻI he ʻIkale Alloys, te tau lava foki ʻo ʻomi e ngaahi laine tatau, ngaahi laʻipepa, ngaahi lauʻi peletí, tubing, mo e foila. Ke maʻu ha fakamatala lahi ange ki hono maʻu ʻo e tatau, tā mai kiate kimautolu ʻi he 800-237-9012 ʻaho ni.
