Previously known as tantalium, its name comes from Tantalus, a villain from Greek mythology. Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. ... The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum.
