Product Overview
Holmium powder is a silvery-white metallic powder that is soft with good malleability. It has a melting point of 1474°C, a boiling point of 2695°C, and a density of 8.7947 g/cm³. Holmium is stable in dry air but oxidizes easily at high temperatures, forming holmium oxide, which has strong paramagnetic properties. Holmium compounds are used as additives in the production of new types of ferromagnetic materials, and holmium lasers are widely applied in the medical field.
