3 Uses
3.1 Uses & Benefits
- Actinium metal has a great source of alpha rays but it is hardly used outside research purpose.
- It has a tendency to get tarnished in the open air, but when alloyed with elements like erbium, vanadium, its hardness levels decreases.
- Its compounds like Erbium oxide is used in safety glasses of welders and metal workers.
