Holmium Lump

Product Overview
Holmium is a silvery-white metal with a relatively soft texture and good ductility. 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 it rapidly oxidizes at high temperatures. Oxidized holmium is a strongly paramagnetic substance. Holmium compounds have significant applications in modern technology, particularly as additives in new ferromagnetic materials, metal halide lamps, and laser technologies.

Product Features
