Erbium Metal

Erbium metal is soft, malleable, bright, and silvery. It does not oxidize as rapidly as some of the other rare earth metals as it is fairly stable in air.

Erbium has an high electrical resistivity. As with other rare earth metals, properties depend on the impurities present. Naturally occurring erbium is a mixture of six stable isotopes.

Erbium's everyday uses are varied. It is commonly used as a photographic filter, and because of its resilience it is useful as a metallurgical additive.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies high quality Erbium Metal Powder and a wide variety of Erbium metals.
