SynopsisIt finds applications in the aerospace industry. Another use of Scandium is in aluminum-scandium alloys for sports equipment, such as bicycle frames, lacrosse sticks, and baseball bats. The global Scandium Foil market was valued at US$ million in 2023 an.....
SynopsisThe electrical properties of selenium are of particular interest as it is both photovoltaic (i.e. it becomes an electrical conductor when exposed to light or ultra violet radiation) and photoconductive (i.e. the electrical conductivity increases with increasin.....
SynopsisAs Zirconium Foil (Zr Foil) has better mechanical strength under high temperatures, it is also used as support and structure components for high-temperature applications. Most Zirconium Foils are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film Chemi.....
SynopsisZinc is used widely throughout industry; for example, it is used as a galvanic coating on steel to prevent corrosion, and is used as a constituent of various alloy systems (e.g. with copper in brass), as well as in zinc-base alloys which can be used for diecas.....
SynopsisYttrium is used as yttrium phosphor to produce the red colours on television screens and monitors. It also finds applications as a constituent of superconductors as well as in X-ray filters and superalloys. The radioactive isotope, 90Y, can be used as needles .....
SynopsisYtterbium is a soft, silvery-white metal of the lanthanide group. It has an abundance of 3.3 ppm in the earth's crust and is always found in combination with other lanthanides. The metal is soft and malleable, oxidises slowly in air and reacts with water. Appl.....
SynopsisVanadium is a medium-hard, ductile, steel-blue metal. It has good resistance to corrosion and it is stable against alkalis, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. Vanadium foil is often used for super alloy of atomic industrial and aviation, electronic materials, pa.....
SynopsisTungsten foil is produced by cold rolling the tungsten sheet to a lower thickness. The stamped and drawn foil is very suitable to use in the applications of high temperature vacuum furnace, coating, electronic and semiconductor components. Tungsten foil is use.....
SynopsisThe least abundant of the rare earth elements, thulium occurs in small quantities along with other rare earths in many minerals. It is silvery-gray, soft malleable, ductile, and can be cut with a knife. The pure metal is bright and lustrous and reasonably stab.....
SynopsisTerbium is used to dope calcium fluoride, calcium tungstate and strontium molybdate, materials that are used in solid-state devices, and as a crystal stabilizer of fuel cells which operate at elevated temperatures. As a component of Terfenol-D (an alloy that e.....
