Yttrium Metal is widely applied in making specialty alloys, it increases the strengths of alloys of metals such as Chromium, Aluminium, and Magnesium. Yttrium is one of the elements used to make the red color in CRT televisions. As a metal, it is used on the electrodes of some high-performance spark plugs. Yttrium is also used in the manufacturing of gas mantles for propane lanterns as a replacement for Thorium. It is also used to increase the strength of Aluminium and Magnesium alloys. The addition of Yttrium to alloys generally improves workability, adds resistance to high-temperature recrystallization, and significantly enhances resistance to high-temperature oxidation. Yttrium Metal can be further processed into various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs, and powder.

Yttrium Metal Applications

The most important uses of yttrium are LEDs and phosphors, particularly the red phosphors in television set cathode ray tube displays.[6] Yttrium is also used in the production of electrodes, electrolytes, electronic filters, lasers, superconductors, various medical applications, and tracing various materials to enhance their properties.
