Application

Although yttrium metal by itself is not very useful, it has many unusual applicationswhen combined as an alloy or as a compound with other elements. For example, whencombined with iron, it is known as garnet (Y3Fe5O12), which is used as a "filter" in microwave communication systems. When garnets are made with aluminum instead of iron,they form semiprecious garnet gemstones (Y3Al5O12) that resemble diamonds. Aluminumgarnets are referred to as "YAG" solid-state lasers because they are capable of intensifyingand strengthening a single frequency of light energy that is focused through a crystal ofgarnet. This produces a very powerful narrow band of light waves of a single color (microwave frequency). YAG-type lasers have found uses in the medical industry and as a cuttingtool for metals.When combined with oxygen and europium, yttrium produces the red phosphor used asa coating in color television screens to produce the bright red color. Yttrium is also used asan alloy metal and as a high-temperature coating on iron and steel alloys. It is used as a substance to deoxidize (remove the oxygen) during the production of nonferrous metals such asvanadium. Yttrium has the ability to "capture" neutrons, making it useful in the nuclear powerindustry. It is also used in the production of several types of semiconductors.
