NEODYMIUM, GADOLINIUM, TERBIUM, Dysprosium, HOLMIUM, ERBIUM NEODYMIUM Atomic symbol: Nd Atomic weight: 144.24 Atomic number: 60 Electron configuration: 2-8-18-22-8-2 Oxidation states: +3 State of matter: solid Heavy metal, brittle Discovered in 1885 by Carl Auer von Welsbach Boils at 3127°C, melts at 1010°C Notes: Used in special alloys and glasses, neodymium is a silvery-white color […]

Crucibles are specialized containers for melting metallic materials at very high temperatures. The molten material is cast into new objects or used to make new alloys (different metals combined in specific proportions). Since crucibles are used to melt materials at high temperatures, the material used to make the crucible must have a higher melting point […]

CESIUM, IODINE, BARIUM, LANTHANUM, CERIUM, PRASEODYMIUM IODINE Atomic symbol: I Atomic weight: 126.90447 Atomic number: 53 Electron configuration: 2-8-18-18-7 Oxidation states: ±1, +5, 7 State of matter: solid Non-metal Discovered in 1811 by Bernard Courtois Boils at 184°C, melts at 113.5°C Notes: Iodine is bluish-black in color with a metallic luster, characteristic odor, and sharp […]

What are ultra-high temperature materials 　　Ultra-high-temperature materials refer to the most heat-resistant high-grade materials that can be used as usual under severe environments such as stress and oxidation, and at an ultra-high temperature of about 2000°C. Research and application of ultra-high temperature materials 　　 1. Refractory metal Refractory metals (W, Mo, Ta, Nb, Zr, etc.) […]

Pyrolytic Boron Nitride, abbreviated as Pyrolytic BN or PBN, also known as Chemical vapour-deposited Boron Nitride, Chemical Vapour-deposition of Boron Nitride or CVD-BN, etc. As the name suggests, this is a kind of boron nitride prepared by high temperature pyrolysis reaction by chemical vapor deposition method. Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) material has high purity, chemical […]

The atomization method is a powder preparation method in which a fast-moving fluid (atomization medium) impacts or otherwise breaks the metal or alloy liquid into fine droplets, and then condenses into a solid powder. The atomized powder particles not only have the same uniform chemical composition as the established molten alloy, but also due to […]

Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and […]

The vast majority of single rare earth metals and their intermediate alloys are used to produce new rare earth metal materials such as neodymium iron boron, samarium cobalt permanent magnet and super magnetostriction and non-ferrous metal alloys such as AI-RE, Mg-RE, Cu-RE, Zn- RE, W-RE, Mo-RE, etc. In addition, there are a few rare earth […]

Tungsten, or wolfram, is a chemical element with the symbol W and atomic number 74. The most important properties of tungsten are high melting point and high density. Meanwhile, the hardness is high and its ductility is poor to other refractory metals. All the properties make tungsten metal hard to be machined, here we will introduce […]
