Erbium metal powder is a grey-black, soft, chemically active, easy to oxidise, the main component of Erbium (Er) powder material, usually vacuum or inert gas packaging, can be processed into different particle sizes, in powder metallurgy, petrochemical catalyst, optics and other important applications.
VIMATERIAL’s erbium powders are characterized by high purity, precise particle size control (micron/nano adjustable) and low impurity content, which has resulted in excellent customer feedback on the quality of the powders in use.contact us.
Molecular formula: Er
Molecular weight: 167.26
Appearance: Silver-gray metal powder, easily oxidized in air to produce light pink oxide layer.
Density: 9.07 g/cm³ (solid density at 20℃).
Melting point: 1529℃
Boiling point: 2863°C
Crystal Structure: Hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structure at room temperature, the atoms are closely arranged, giving the metal ductility and a certain strength.
Livability: Erbium metal powder is chemically active and is easily oxidised in air, with a film of oxides forming rapidly on the surface, which leads to the need for special protective measures during storage and use, such as vacuum packaging or inert gas packaging.
Laser materials: Erbium metal powder can be used to manufacture laser materials, for example, in some specific lasers, the addition of Erbium can adjust the wavelength and performance of the laser, making it suitable for different laser application scenarios.
Optical fibre communication: In optical fibre communication, erbium-doped fibre amplifier is an important optical signal amplifier device. Erbium metal powder can be used to prepare erbium-doped optical fibre, which can make the optical signal maintain its intensity during long-distance transmission, and has a key role in modern long-distance, large-capacity and high-speed optical fibre communication.
Alloying: Erbium metal powder can be added to other metals as an alloying component.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) implements a rigorous quality assurance system, conducting strict quality control across the entire production chain, reworking defective products, and releasing each batch only after passing detailed specification tests. The company adheres to the highest standards in R&D, production, shipping, and customer service, investigates deviations via the 8D procedure, complies with REACH and ASTM standards, ensures batch consistency and traceability, and is committed to building a socially responsible supply chain to protect human health and the environment.
Erbium powder is vacuum-packed in bottles and packed in cartons.
The storage condition of erbium powder should be placed in a dry and clean environment of 15-30℃, humidity ≤60%, away from corrosive substances, and vacuum sealing should be reapplied after opening to prevent oxidation.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
