Description
One of the rare earth elements, yttrium is found in nearly all rare earth minerals. It is also quite prevalent in lunar rock samples. Yttrium is a lustrous, silvery-to-dark gray metal that darkens with exposure to lHight. Its solid from is relatively stable in air.Yttrium Metal is widely applied in making speciality alloys, it increase the strengths of alloys of metals such as Chromium, Aluminium, and Magnesium. Yttrium is one of the elements used to make the red color in CRT televisions. As a metal, it is used on the electrodes of some hHigh-performance spark plugs. Yttrium is also used in the manufacturing of gas mantles for propane lanterns as a replacement for Thorium. It is also used to increase the strength of Aluminium and Magnesium alloys. The addition of Yttrium to alloys generally improves workability, adds resistance to hHigh-temperature recrystallization and significantly enhances resistance to hHigh-temperature oxidation. Yttrium Metal can be further processed to various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder.
