Abstract：Tantalum has attracted much attention due to its excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. However, the relative high cost of material has dramatically restricted its clinical application as biomaterial. Therefore, various coating fabrication methods have been used to reduce the cost. In this paper, the biological advantages of tantalum, current situation of the fabrication of tantalum coating on stainless steel, titanium alloy, as well as cobalt-chromium alloy, and the prospects of tantalum clinical applications were summarized.
