Description
Yttrium is a rare earth metal with the symbol Y and atomic number 39. It is soft, silvery‐metallic and lustrous. In its bulk form, it remains relatively stable in air, whereas Yttrium in powder form reacts quickly and lacks stability. The highest purity obtained through distillation reaches up to 99.99%.
The Yttrium metal powder is used primarily as an additive in specialised steels and special alloys to improve mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It also finds application in the electronics industry and in scientific research.
