Terbium Metal
Terbium Metal
Terbium, a very soft silvery rare earth metal, is mainly used in green phosphors. Together with divalent europium blue phosphors and trivalent europium red phosphors, terbium green phosphors are used to produce standard white light for indoor lighting.
Symbol: Tb
Atomic number: 65
Atomic weight: 158.92535
Element category: lanthanide
REE has been widely used in electronics, petrochemical, metallurgy, machinery, energy, environmental protection, agriculture. Rare Earth can be used to produce fluorescent materials, rare earth hydride battery materials, electric light materials, magnetic materials, hydrogen storage materials, catalytic materials, precision ceramic materials, laser materials, superconducting materials, magnetostrictive materials, magnetic refrigeration materials, optical storage materials, optical fiber materials.
The following abbreviations are often used:
• RE = rare earth
• REM = rare earth metals
• REE = rare earth elements
• REO = rare earth oxides
• REY = rare earth elements and yttrium
• LREE = light rare earth elements (Sc, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, and Gd; also known as the cerium group)
• HREE = heavy rare earth elements (Y, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu; also known as the yttrium group)
Edgetech Industries LLC presents you with high purity REE products and good service, the mainly products are Scandium, HREE (yttrium group).
Application of terbium metal
