Rare Earth Element

About Rare Earth Elements (REE)

Rare Earth Elements (REE) consist of 16 chemical elements. They include the 15 elements of the lanthanide series and Yttrium. REE are used in electronic devices for defence, alternative energy and communications. When alloyed with other metals, these elements can display improved magnetic properties, increased thermal stability and additional performance characteristics.

Seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table are classified as rare earth metals. This group comprises the fifteen lanthanides as well as Scandium and Yttrium. Scandium and Yttrium are included because they typically occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides; given that they share similar chemical properties. Despite their classification, these elements exist in measurable quantities in the Earth’s crust.

Our Range of Rare Earth Elements

Neodym (Nd): Neodym is used to produce magnets with quantifiable magnetic performance. These magnets are employed in motors, generators, headphones and medical devices.

Dysprosium (Dy): Dysprosium is added to Neodym-Iron-Boron magnets to improve their thermal stability. These magnets retain their magnetic performance at elevated temperatures and are used in electric motors and wind turbines.

Lanthan (La): Lanthan is a component in batteries for hybrid vehicles, camera lenses and energy-efficient lighting. Its usage is based on defined performance criteria.

Yttrium (Y): Yttrium is utilised in the manufacture of phosphors. These phosphors are used in LED displays, medical imaging equipment and laser devices.

Advantages of Rare Earth Metals (REE)

Magnetism: Certain REE, such as Neodym and Dysprosium, exhibit measurable magnetic performance. They are applied in renewable energy, transport and electronic devices.

Luminescence: Yttrium is used to produce phosphors that emit bright, energy-efficient and precisely calibrated light. These phosphors are applied in lighting and display technologies.

Catalysis: REE are incorporated in catalysts to lower vehicle emissions. These catalysts contribute to reducing pollutant levels.
