Yttrium (Y) Micron Powder (99.5%, 325 Mesh)

Description

Yttrium (Y) Micron Powder (99.5%, 325 Mesh)

Yttrium (Y) Micron Powder with 99.5% purity and 325 mesh particle size is a high-performance rare-earth transition metal powder. With its high thermodynamic affinity for oxygen and ability to form stable crystalline structures, yttrium exhibits excellent mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties.

This micronized yttrium powder is moderately stable in air but oxidizes over time, making it ideal for alloying, ceramics, electronics, superconductors, and biomedical applications. It plays a critical role in strengthening stainless steel alloys, improving corrosion resistance, and enhancing high-temperature performance.
