Yttrium is a transition metal from the scandium group. It is counted among the rare-earth metals as well as the light metals. Due to passivation, pure yttrium is stable in air, i.e., the oxide layer formed in air protects yttrium from further oxidation. The metal undergoes a reaction with hot water and acids under hydrogen evolution. From this reaction, trivalent yttrium salts are formed. Yttrium in pulverized form has pyrophoric properties.

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

The main application areas 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:

• resistance to air;
• reacts with hot water and acids with hydrogen evolution;
• pyrophoric in pulverized form.
