Tantalum fasteners are best known for its unmatched corrosion resistance and chemical inertness. Tantalum fasteners have a similar corrosion resistance to that of glass, but all of the typical mechanical and electrical properties of a metal.
Tantalum fasteners are also extremely stable at high temperatures, since tantalum has a melting point around 3000°C. High temperature applications require vaccum or inert gas since tantalum may embrittle when used in oxygen rich environments above 250°C.  Tantalum fasteners are also one of the most bio-compatible metals available and is also radio-opaque due to its high density (16.68 g/cm3).
All tantalum fasteners are available in commercially pure tantalum and tantalum 2.5% tungsten (Ta-2.5%W).

Tantalum (Commercially Pure)

Commercially pure tantalum metal 99.95% pure tantalum as a minimum and has the best corrosion resistant properties of any metal when it come to most acids. While its corrosion resistance is exceptional, it is relatively soft and mechanically similar in strength to copper.

Tantalum 2.5% Tungsten (Ta-2.5W)

This grade of tantalum alloyed with 2.5% tungsten provided better overall strength while maintaining its exception corrosion resistant properties. For tantalum fastener applications this is usually preferred.
