Terbium Powder

Product Overview
Terbium powder is a silver-gray, soft, and ductile rare earth metal powder. Terbium is prone to corrosion in high temperatures but corrodes slowly at room temperature. It is soluble in acids, and its salts are colorless, while its oxide (Tb₄O₇) appears brown. Terbium powder is widely used in high-tech fields, especially in medical applications, magneto-optical materials, and magnetic deflection technology. As an important rare earth element, terbium offers excellent chemical and physical properties, making it ideal for high-precision applications.
