Ytterbium Metal

Product Detail

Brief information of Ytterbium Metal Product name:Ytterbium Metal Formula: Yb CAS No.: 7440-64-4 Molecular Weight: 173.04 Density: 6570 kg/m³ Melting point: 824 °C Appearance: Silvery grey lump piwces, ingot, rods or wires Stability: Stable in air Ductibility: Good Multilingual: Ytterbium Metall, Metall De Ytterbium, Metall Del Yterbio Application of Ytterbium Metal: 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. Ytterbium Metal can be further processed to various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder. Specification of Ytterbium Metal
