Introduction: What is Lutetium? Lutetium is a silvery-white rare-earth metal. It is the last element in the lanthanide series. Lutetium was independently found by three scientists (Georges Urbain, Baron Carl Auer von Welsbach, and Charles James) as an impurity in the mineral ytterbia, which was previously thought to consist only of ytterbium. It has an...Continue Reading

White meals are an important category of metals used in various industrial applications, just as alloys are. An old use of white metals is their referencing in the antique trade for describing items suspected of containing silver but not hallmarked. As an example, the term “white metal” is used in the British fine art trade...Continue Reading

From time immemorial, gold has remained a very precious substance. From making jewelry to cookware and industrial materials, gold has proven to be very useful and precious to man, particularly because of its high malleability, ductility, and lustrous nature. Gold is one of the most precious metals known to man, and it has a wide...Continue Reading

You must have heard about aluminium or seen aluminium in many different places. This is because aluminium is one of the most useful elements that nature offers. In terms of occurrence, studies show that aluminum comprises about 8% of the earth’s crust, making it the most abundant metal and the third most abundant element in...Continue Reading

Titanium can be alloyed with iron, aluminum, vanadium, and molybdenum to produce strong, lightweight alloys for aerospace (jet engines, missiles, and spacecraft), military, industrial processes (chemicals and petrochemicals, desalination plants, pulp, and paper), automotive, marine, human implants, and other applications. In addition to low density and high specific strength, another important advantage of titanium alloy...Continue Reading

If there is a metal that is ignored by us, I think that is scandium. Scandium is found in most rare earth elements and uranium deposits, but it can only be extracted from a few mines around the world. Due to the low availability and difficulty in preparation, which was succeeded in 1937, of scandium,...Continue Reading

Gold Sputter Target Demand Increases As LED Market Grows The LED industry has grown rapidly over the past decade partially due to the penetration of LED-backlit TVs and laptops. One of the most important functional components of the LED is the LED semiconductor chip. At present, the materials used in the manufacturing of LED chips are...Continue Reading

The crucible is an important vessel for scientific experiments as well as industrial productions. It is a pot that is used to keep metals for melting in a furnace. So furnace crucibles are usually designed to withstand the highest temperatures encountered in the metal casting works, which means the crucible should essentially be made of...Continue Reading
