China's exports of yttrium oxide to the United States reached 29 tons in July, hitting a recent high and potentially alleviating pressure on U.S. aerospace materials.

According to data released by Chinese customs on Thursday, China exported 29 tons of yttrium oxide to the United States in July, marking the second-highest monthly export volume since China implemented rare earth export controls. This could provide some relief to U.S. aerospace procurers reliant on this material. The element is used in special alloys for engines and high-temperature coatings, with China being its primary source. In contrast, China continues to impose strict restrictions on exports of this material and other strategic resources to Japan.
