Rare Earth Metal Nd CAS No 7440-00-8 Metal Neodymium Powder High-Entropy Alloys

Neodymium salts, electronics, alloys, colored glass, (especially in astronomical lenses and lasers), to increase heat resistance of magnesium, metallurgical research, yttrium-garnet laser dope, gas scavenger in iron and steel manufacture Misch metal is composed of about 18% neodymium, from which cigarette-lighter flints aremade. Because neodymium absorbs the yellow “sodium” line in the visible light spectrum, itcan be added to glass to produce violet-, red-, or gray-colored glass. Neodymium glass is usedto calibrate spectrometers and other optical devices in astronomical and laboratory observationinstruments. It is also used in the production of artificial rubies used in lasers. Its salts areused as pigments for ceramic enamels and glazes. Neodymium is magnetic and is used in many of the most powerful magnets in the world.Some types of steel contain up to 18% neodymium as an alloy. It is also used as a color forTV tubes and as a tint for eyeglasses. Neodymium, plasma standard solution is used as a standard solution in analytical chemistry and atomic absorption spectroscopy. It is also used as a single-element standard solution for plasma emission spectrometry.
