Tantalum metal has excellent corrosion resistance, high melting point, high strength, and wear resistance. It is widely used in heat-resistant materials such as aircraft and rockets, as well as industrial fields that require high-strength components.

In addition, metal tantalum has good physical and mechanical properties and good biocompatibility, becoming another new type of biomaterial after titanium metal. It is widely used in medical related fields such as oral implant implantation, femoral head necrosis, coronary artery stent implantation, artificial acetabular prosthesis implantation, surgical suture production, etc.

Tantalum metal has been used as an implant material in the restoration of missing teeth in patients. With the development of technology, porous tantalum has also been attempted to be applied in the field of implants. Due to its outstanding mechanical and biological properties, elastic modulus comparable to bone tissue, high friction coefficient, and ability to provide good bone bonding and initial stability for implants, it is called a trabecular implant.

Due to their excellent biocompatibility, tantalum and porous tantalum have important clinical value and application prospects in various fields of medicine, such as dentistry, orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery, biomedical engineering, etc. The application of surface modification technology will enable metal tantalum and porous tantalum to have more excellent biological properties, greatly improving the binding ability of tantalum and porous tantalum implants to the surrounding bone interface, In order to better improve the clinical application of implants. The successful application of tantalum in medical treatment has brought good news to doctors and patients, and is a major progress in medical treatment.
