Tantaline's tantalum fabricated products actually outperforms solid tantalum and is a fraction of the costs. The problem with solid tantalum fabricated products is that they are not affordable.  With Tantaline's tantalum fabricated products, the tantalum cost paradyme has been broken as well as the performance limitation of tantalum. With the Tantaline process tantalum metal is used extremely efficinently and there is no need for complex machining of tantalum due to our vapor phase process.
