Neodymium oxide application field

1. Colorants for glass and ceramics.

2. 1.5% ~ 2.5% nano-neodymium oxide is added to magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy as raw materials for the manufacture of neodymium metal and strong magnetic Ndfeb, which can improve the high temperature performance, air tightness and corrosion resistance of the alloy, and is widely used as aerospace materials.

3. Nano-sized yttrium aluminum oxide garnet doped with nano-sized neodymium oxide produces shortwave laser beam, which is widely used in industry for welding and cutting of thin materials with thickness below 10mm.

4. Nano-sized neodymium oxide is also used in the colouring of glass and ceramic materials and in rubber products and additives.
