Yttrium Metal Y CAS 7440-65-5 For Cladding Material Of Nuclear Fuel

Yttrium metal (Yttrium), chemical symbol Y, is a grayish black rare earth metal element, ductile, melting point up to 1522 ° C, boiling point 3338 ° C. Yttrium was the first rare earth element to be discovered, and it is widely found in silicoberyllium, black rare earth, and phosphoyttrium.
Yttrium has a wide range of applications in industry. It can be used as a red phosphor for TV screens, making the screen more colorful. In addition, yttrium is used in the manufacture of superconductors, superalloys and specialty glasses, such as yttrium aluminum garnet and yttrium iron garnet, which perform well in laser, microwave technology and magnetic materials. Yttrium is also used as a cladding material for nuclear fuel because of its high temperature and corrosion resistance. In the field of alloys, yttrium as an additive can significantly improve the oxidation resistance, ductility and electrical conductivity of stainless steel, aluminum alloy and other materials. For example, adding yttrium-rich rare earths to MB26 alloy can replace some medium-strong aluminum alloys for aircraft stress components. In addition, yttrium is also used in the manufacture of engine components, high-temperature proton conduction materials, and getter in the electronics industry.
