Product Overview
Erbium powder is a silver-white rare earth metal powder with a high melting point and boiling point. It exhibits antiferromagnetic properties at low temperatures and becomes strongly ferromagnetic near absolute zero, showing superconductivity. Erbium powder is chemically stable and is mainly used in nuclear industry, ceramics, and metal alloy manufacturing.
Key Features
- High Melting Point & Boiling Point:Melting point of 1529°C and boiling point of 2863°C.
- High Density:Density of 9.006 g/cm³, offering good physical stability.
- Magnetic & Superconductivity Properties:Exhibits strong ferromagnetism and superconductivity at low temperatures.
- Chemical Reactivity:Easily oxidized in air and water, forming rose-red erbium oxide.
Applications
- Nuclear Industry:Used as a control material in nuclear reactors.
- Ceramics:Applied in the production of pottery with pink glazes.
- Fluorescent Materials:Acts as an activator for certain fluorescent materials.
- Metal Alloys:Incorporated into metal alloys to enhance properties.
