1. Purity Grade
99.99% (4N) is preferred for electronic, optical, or sputtering target applications.
99.5%–99.9% is sufficient for most metallurgical and chemical processing uses.
2. Form Factor & Sizing
Chunks or rods for melting and alloying.
Foils or discs for vacuum evaporation.
Sputtering targets (bonded or unbonded) for thin film deposition.
3. Oxidation Sensitivity
Yttrium is air-sensitive and prone to oxidation; proper packaging and storage under inert gas or vacuum is critical.
4. Packaging & Traceability
Zhiyue provides inert-atmosphere or vacuum-sealed packaging to ensure long-term material integrity. Full traceability is available from production to delivery.
