Tantalum Component. .

Tantalum- which is found in 3 billion- year- old soils, like those in the Rift Valley region of

middle Africa, western Australia and central Asia - has become a critical raw material in high- tech

manufacturing. The tantalum extracted from the ore is used mainly to make tantalum

capacitors, tiny components that manage the flow of current in electronic devices. Many

semiconductors also use a thin layer of tantalum as a protective barrier between other metal

coatings. The metal, which is also found in other minerals and can be extracted as a by product

of tin refining, is used in the airline, chemical, pharmaceutical and automotive industries as

well.

The market for the material is huge. Last year, about 6. 6 million pounds of tantalum was

used around the world, 60 percent finding its way into the electronics industry, where it can

be found in products like mobile phones, computers, game consoles and camcorders. (The

United States is the largest consumer of tantalum in the world, accounting for 40 percent of

global demand.
