Yttrium Powder, Y Metal Powder

Product Information

Yttrium is a rare earth element with the symbol Y and atomic number 39. Yttrium is soft, silver-metallic, and lustrous. The pure element is relatively stable in air in bulk form and very unstable when divided. The highest purity of the distillation yttrium is 99.99%.

Yttrium Metal Powder can be used as an additive for specialty steels and special alloys.

Properties（Theoretical）

Characteristics:

Yttrium is a soft, silvery metal. Yttrium usually exists as a trivalent ion, Y3+, in its compounds. Most of its compounds are colorless.

Yttrium’s properties are very similar to those of the rare earth elements of the lanthanide series. Accordingly, yttrium is classified as one of the rare earth elements.

It is relatively stable in air as a result of an oxide film which forms on its surface.

The finely divided metal ignites in air when heated.

Yttrium reacts with water to form yttrium hydroxide plus hydrogen gas.

Yttrium has an exceptionally high affinity for oxygen, with a free energy of formation for the oxide of 1817 kJ mol-1, probably the greatest of any element. Yttrium also dissolves oxygen gas in relatively high concentrations. 

Yttrium (Y) Powder Application

Yttrium powder is mainly used for special steel and non-ferrous metal additives, for the production of superconductors and superalloys, as functional materials in the electronics and atomic energy industries (such as yttrium phosphors to produce red color on TV screens, and also for X-ray filters).

Packing of Yttrium Powder

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. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.

ATTs’Yttrium Powder is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
