Lutetium

Element category: Lanthanide, sometimes considered a transition metal

Lutetium is a silvery-white, hard, dense, rare earth metal belonging to the lanthanides group. It is the hardest and the densest of the lanthanides.
 

Lutetium is one of the most challenging elements to prepare. Therefore, it has very few commercial uses. It can be used as catalysts for cracking hydrocarbons in the petrochemical industry.
Lutetium isotopes are used to determine the meteorites' age, and as a pure beta emitter, using lutetium is exposed to neutron activation.

AEM REE can custom manufacture Lutetium metals to your exact specifications.
We have earned the trust of businesses around the world as their primary partners in these markets.
