Ytterbium oxide

1. As heat shield coating material. Ytterbium can improve the corrosion resistance of electrodeposited zinc coating, and the grains of the coating containing ytterbium are smaller, uniform and dense than that without ytterbium.
2. Make magnetostrictive materials.
3. Ytterbium element is used to measure the pressure. The test shows that ytterbium element has high sensitivity in the calibrated pressure range. At the same time, ytterbium opens up a new way in the application of pressure measurement
4. Activator, radio ceramic, computer memory element additive, glass fiber flux and optical glass additive for fluorescent powder
