Yttrium is a transition metal from the scandium group. It is a rare earth metal and a light metal. Due to its passivation, pure yttrium is stable in air, i.e. the oxide layer that forms in air protects yttrium from further oxidation. The metal reacts with hot water and acids to form hydrogen. This reaction produces trivalent yttrium salts. Yttrium in powdered form has pyrophoric properties.

Yttrium is mainly used as an alloying element in metallurgy. For example, low 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. For example, yttrium aluminum garnet is used in laser technology. Yttrium iron garnet is used in the manufacture of memory chips and in high-frequency technology.

The main areas of application for 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:

• Resistance in air;
• reacts with hot water and acids to form hydrogen;
• pyrophoric in powdered form.
