Yttrium is a transition metal from the scandium group. It belongs to the rare earth metals and light metals. Due to passivation, pure yttrium is stable in air, meaning the oxide layer formed in air protects yttrium from further oxidation. The metal reacts with hot water and acids, producing hydrogen. This reaction results in trivalent yttrium salts. Yttrium in powdered form exhibits pyrophoric properties.

Yttrium is mainly used as an alloying element in metallurgy. A small amount of yttrium is added to iron-chromium-aluminum, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, and zirconium alloys to increase strength and improve oxidation resistance. Yttrium compounds are used in technology. Yttrium aluminum garnet is used in laser technology. Yttrium iron garnet is used in the production of memory chips and high-frequency technology.

The main applications of yttrium are:

• as an alloying element (iron-chromium-aluminum, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, and zirconium alloys);
• as yttrium compounds (laser technology, production of memory chips, high-frequency technology);
• spark plugs;
• reactor technology;
• production of permanent magnets.

Yttrium is characterized by:

• stability in air;
• reacts with hot water and acids, producing hydrogen;
• pyrophoric in powdered form.
