ISE Metal Quotes
Tantalum is a corrosion-resistant strategic metal with high volumetric capacitance. Ore origin, responsible sourcing, processing and recycling are particularly important to its supply chain.
Major applications include capacitors, medical technology, chemical equipment, superalloys, hard metals and high-temperature uses. Product form, specification and purity must remain consistent in price comparisons.
Key price factors include electronics and aerospace demand, ore supply, traceability, processing capacity, inventories and recycling. Origin, delivery terms and contract volumes also affect achievable prices.
Average for the six-month period ending 30 days ago. Not a real-time quotation or a binding offer.
