Features
The silvery white metal is very elastic and soft. It forms three allotropic modifications with conversion points at -13 ° C and 795 ° C. At room temperature, β-ytterbium forms a face-centered cubic lattice, at higher temperatures a cubic-body centered lattice. At a pressure of 16.000 bar, β-Yb shows semiconductor properties in terms of electrical conductivity.
Ytterbium turns gray in dry air. At higher temperatures it burns to the sesquioxide Yb2O3. With water, it reacts slowly with evolution of hydrogen to the hydroxide. In mineral acids, it dissolves to form hydrogen. In its compounds it is usually in the oxidation number + 3 before, the Yb3 + cations form colorless solutions in water, Yb2 + cations green solutions.
Ytterbium (Yb) Metal Application
Ytterbium Metal is being applied in improving the grain refinement, strength, and other mechanical properties of stainless steel and alloys. The 169Yb has been used as a radiation source in portable X-ray machines.169Yb is also used in nuclear medicine. Ytterbium can also be used as a dopant to help improve the grain refinement, strength, and other mechanical properties of stainless steel. Some ytterbium alloys have rarely been used in dentistry.
Packing of Ytterbium (Yb) Metal
Standard Packing:
Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities.
