Abstract:
A tantalum or tantalum alloy which contains pure or substantially pure tantalum and at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt, Mo, W and Re to form a tantalum alloy that is resistant to aqueous corrosion. The invention also relates to the process of preparing the tantalum alloy.

Claim (Index 23):
A method of producing a tantalum alloy that is resistant to aqueous corrosion, the method comprising microalloying pure or substantially pure tantalum and one or more metal elements selected from the group consisting of Ru, Pd, and Pt,\n wherein (i) the microalloying is performed to produce the tantalum alloy via laser additive manufacturing (LAM), vacuum arc remelting (VAR), electron beam melting (EBM), or plasma arc melting (PAM), and (ii) each of the one or more metal elements is present, in the tantalum alloy, in an amount less than its solubility limit in the pure or substantially pure tantalum.
