1.1 Uses & Benefits
Lutetium metal is used outside research. It has commercial uses like Industrial catalyst for cracking oil refineries of hydrocarbons .
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.
