More info
Lutetium is a chemical element with the symbol Lu and atomic number 71. It is a silvery-white metal, which resists corrosion in dry air, but not in moist air. Lutetium is the last element in the lanthanide series, and it is traditionally counted among rare-earth. It usually occurs in association with the element yttrium and is sometimes used in metal alloys and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions.HM stocks various rare earth materials for electronics, petrochemicals, metallurgy, machinery, energy, environmental protection, agriculture, and other fields. We also offer pure metals and compounds for R&D applications.
