Erbium's everyday uses are varied. It is commonly used as a photographic filter, and because of its resilience it is useful as a metallurgical additive. Other uses: 1  Used in nuclear technology in neutron-absorbing control rods. 2  When added to vanadium as an alloy, erbium lowers hardness and improves workability.rbium is a chemical element in the lanthanide series, with symbol Er and atomic number 68.
With niobium, zirconium is superconductive at low temperatures and is used to make superconducting magnets. Zirconium metal is protected by a thin oxide layer making it exceptionally resistant to corrosion by acids, alkalis and seawater. For this reason it is extensively used by the chemical industry.Zirconium(IV) oxide is used in ultra-strong ceramics.ith niobium, zirconium is superconductive at low temperatures and is used to make superconducting magnets.
