MAKING PENS OF TANTALUM
Excellent Properties of Metal Have
Suggested Idea of Using It for
Writing Nib.
The excellent properties of tantalum
ban suggested the Idea of using this
metal for writing pens. Most of the
peas now used are of steel, wboeo
elasticity sires the desired pliability
to the pens. But the steel pen rusts
easily and la attacked by Ink. Gold
la rustproof and not so attacked. But
gold alone la too soft, and the extreme
points must have some hard metal Ilk
Iridium soldered to them to make
them durable, which Is complicated
and expensive. Some very Interesting
-teU have been made by German
atoientlsts. The tantalum metal waa
oat, formed and split like an ordinary
steel pen. Then the points were bent,
ground shaped, and hardened by a spe
cial hardening process, which waa
found to greaUy prolong the life of
the pens. Comparative testa were
made between steel, gold, and tantal
um pen polnta on six mile of paper,
and the results showed the hardened
tantalum pea to be far superior to the
others. The chemical testa showed
theee pens to be proof against tne
of Ink.
