1.1 Uses & Benefits
Yttrium metal is used in different alloys, as it increases the strength of aluminum Magnesium alloy. It is used for radar microwave filter.
It is also used as a catalyst in ethene polymerisation.
It is used for research purpose. Very small amount of this metal is used in atomic batteries.
Its radioactive decay is used for a phosphor to give off light. The light emitted is converted into electricity.
