Yttrium (Y) is a rare earth element. Rare earth elements refer to Scandium (Sc), Yttrium (Y) and all lanthanide elements. Yttrium and another rare earth element, Cerium (Ce), are the two elements with the highest content in the earth's crust. Yttrium has a high abundance of 2.8×10^-5 in the earth's crust, mainly existing in xenotime, black rare earth ore and xenotime, and also in monazite and fluorocarbon waste ore.

Yttrium plays an important role in the metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace, energy, electronics and other fields of the national economy. For example, due to its unique extranuclear electron configuration, yttrium has a large solid solubility in alloys, can purify alloy melts, improve alloy structure, improve room temperature and high temperature mechanical properties of alloys, enhance alloy corrosion resistance, etc., so it plays a unique role in the development of new structural materials.

Yttrium is a widely used metal. High-yttrium structural alloys containing 90% yttrium can be used in aviation and other applications requiring low density and high melting point. Adding a small amount of yttrium-rich rare earth to Al-Zr alloy can improve the conductivity of the alloy. This alloy has been adopted by most domestic wire factories. Fe-Cr alloys usually contain 0.5-4% yttrium, which can enhance the oxidation resistance and ductility of these stainless steels.
