Dysprosium Metal

About Dysprosium Metal

Dysprosium is a Rare Earth element that exhibits a metallic, bright silver appearance.

As a pure metal, it is seldom used because it reacts readily with water and air. Dysprosium is used primarily in alloys for Neodymium-based magnets. This is due to its resistance to demagnetisation at elevated temperatures. This property is important for magnets employed in electric motors or generators, for example in wind turbines and electric vehicles. Consequently, the demand for Dysprosium is increasing.

Dysprosium iodide is used in halide discharge lamps. The salt enables the lamps to emit a highly intense white light.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies Dysprosium metal in various forms. These include powder, lumps, sputter targets or custom shapes.
