Yttrium is a transition metal from the scandium group. It is one of the rare earth metals and also one of the light metals. Due to 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 always available at a favourable price in the Evek Ltd online shop. Let us advise you and enjoy our first-class service.

Yttrium is mainly used as an alloying element in metallurgy. Small amounts of yttrium are added to iron-chromium-aluminium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel and zirconium alloys to increase strength and improve oxidation resistance. Yttrium compounds are used in technology. Yttrium aluminium 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-aluminium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel and zirconium alloys);
• as yttrium compounds (laser technology, manufacture of memory chips, high-frequency technology);
• spark plugs;
• reactor technology;
• manufacture of permanent magnets.

Yttrium is characterised by:

• Resistance to air;
• Reaction with hot water and acids to produce hydrogen;
• Pyrophoric in powdered form.
