Application of Lutetium Metal

Lutetium Metal, is the hardest metal of the rare-earths, used as important additive to some specialty alloy. Stable Lutetium can be used as catalysts in petroleum cracking in refineries and can also be used in alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization applications. Lutetium is used as a phosphor in LED light bulbs. Lutetium Metal can be further processed to various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder.
