What will you be welding? What process are you using?

Tantalum is usually welded via resistance welding or with a GTAW process in a vacuum chamber. Helium or argon/helium mixes are common. No filler is typically used.

If you do a search on welding tantalum or refractory metals in general, it'll get you in the ballpark.
