Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) Zur Gewinnung von Tantal werden hauptsächlich die Erze Tantalit und Niobit (Columbit), die Tantalniobate des Eisens und Mangans der Pos. 2615 verwendet. Tantal wird durch Reduktion von Tantaloxid oder durch Elektrolyse von geschmolzenem Kaliumfluorotantalat erzeugt. Tantal ist entweder kompakt oder pulverförmig; in Pulverform wird es wie Wolfram oder Molybdän verarbeitet. Tantal in Pulverform ist schwarz; in anderen Formen ist es weiß, wenn es poliert, und stahlblau, wenn es nicht poliert ist. Reines Tantal ist leicht schmiedbar und sehr dehnbar.
