Overview of Spherical Yttrium Powder
Yttrium, a transition metal with characteristics similar to lanthanides, is commonly used in various advanced applications. The spherical form of yttrium powder is highly reactive when exposed to air and moisture, requiring careful handling. For optimal safety and preservation of its properties, TFM recommends processing spherical yttrium powder in an inert gas environment, such as argon.
