Overview

Yttrium metal, a silver-white rare earth metal with the element symbol Y, is the first rare earth metal element discovered in history. A block of pure yttrium metal will form a protective oxide layer (Y₂O₃) on its surface in air, and this passivation process makes it relatively stable for long-term storage and application. As a professional yttrium metal manufacturer based in China, Ganzhou Wanfeng offers high-purity yttrium metal products with a purity range of 99%-99.99% (2N-4N grades), tailored to meet the demands of diverse industrial fields including electronics, high-temperature ceramics, and medical equipment manufacturing.
