Ductile and hard are not necessarily mutually exclusive terms. If you look up the essential information about Tantalum on webelements.com among the physical properties listed for this element are that it is a "a greyish silver, heavy, and very hard metal." It goes on to say that in its pure form it is ductile, which is not synonymous with soft. It is malleable and more specifically ductility means it is "easily stretched without breaking or lowering in material strength" (dictionary.com). The first comment is not entirely correct.

It really is like saying hard and soft at the same time. Can't happen. Tantalum is not hard (I have a piece sitting in front of me, and can scratch it with a piece of soft steel. You're right about it being corrosion resistant, but not much more than titanium, especially in any environment your hand can survive. So lets hope you find plenty of not very smart rich people to sell this crap to. Ductile and hard are mutually exclusive metallurgical terms. It really is like saying hard and soft at the same time.
