Properties of nano-sized neodymium oxide

Neodymium Oxide, CAS is 1313-97-9. Nd₂O₃ is a metal oxide.  It is insoluble in water and soluble in acid.

Morphology of neodymium oxide

Nature: easy to be damp, easy to absorb carbon dioxide in the air  

Solubility: insoluble in water, soluble in inorganic acid.  

Relative density: 7.24g/cm³  

Melting point: about 1900℃  

Solubility: 0.00019g/100mL water (20℃) 0.003g/ 100mL water (75℃).  Adding heat to air forms a high-valence oxide of neodymium.

Particle size: Nanometer level (20nm 50nm 100nm 200nm 500nm) Micron level (1um 5um) Purity: 99.9% 99.99% 99.999% (particle size purity specifications support customized)

Application fields of neodymium oxide  

1. Glass, ceramic colorants.  

2. Raw materials for the manufacture of neodymium metal and raw materials for ndfeb, adding 1.5% ~ 2.5% nano neodymium oxide in magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy can improve the alloy's high temperature performance, air tightness and corrosion resistance, widely used as aerospace materials.  

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

4. Nano neodymium oxide is also used in glass and ceramic material coloring as well as rubber products and additives.
