Tantalum & Tantalum Alloy

As the most corrosion resistant metal in common use, which is very similar to glass, Tantalum is inert to practically all organic and inorganic compounds, but not suit for using in hydrofluoric acid and strong hot alkali applications. 

Tantalum is inert to sulfuric and hydrochloric acid in all concentrations below 300°F. Attack up to 400°F is not significant and Tantalum is in common use up to 500°F. Tantalum is not attacked by nitric acid in concentrations up to 98% and temperatures up to at least 212°F.
