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 corrosion resistance and hence it is used to plate other metals.
  • Its alloys are very useful; Nichrome alloy is used in the hot coil of toasters and electric oven.
