What are the applications of rare earth metal neodymium

Neodymium is silvery white metal, melting point 1024 ° C, the density of 7.004 g/cm after, have paramagnetism. Neodymium is one of the most lively rare earth metals, in the air can quickly darkened, generated oxide; In cold water, slow reaction, reaction rapidly in the hot water. Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet and neodymium glass can be instead of ruby laser materials, praseodymium and neodymium glass can make goggles. Neodymium (Nd) : along with the birth of the elements of praseodymium, neodymium also arises at the historic moment, the arrival of neodymium active rare earth field, plays an important role in the field of rare earth, and around the rare earth market.

Elements with its unique position in the field of rare earth neodymium, become the hot spot in the market for many years. Is the biggest users of metal neodymium in ndfeb permanent magnet materials. The coming of ndfeb permanent magnets for rare earth high-tech areas has injected new vigor and vitality. Ndfeb magnets, magnetic energy product is high, known as "the king of the permanent magnet, with its superior performance is widely used in electronics, machinery and other industries. Success of the alpha magnetic spectrometer, marks the magnetic of ndfeb magnets in China has entered the world first-class level. Nd also applies to non-ferrous metal materials. By adding 1.5 2.5% magnesium or aluminum alloy neodymium, can improve the high temperature properties of the alloy, air tightness and corrosion resistance, widely used in aerospace materials. In addition, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet produce shortwave laser beam, under 10 mm in industry are widely used in thickness of welding and cutting thin materials. On health care, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser instead of a scalpel to remove surgery or disinfect the wound. Also used in glass and ceramic materials coloring and neodymium rubber additives. With the development of science and technology, rare earth science and technology development and extension, neodymium will have a broader use of space.
