Bar.
This is a piece from a slab of pure tantalum cut from scrap electrodes. Tantalum is a highly inert substance which makes it well suited to electrolytic applications. It is also frequently used as a non-contaminating material for making crucibles other containers. Tantalum has a high melting point and is surprisingly dense.
