SynopsisNeodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. Neodymium belongs to the lanthanide series and is a rare-earth element. It is a hard, slightly malleable silvery metal that quickly tarnishes in air and moisture. The global Neodymi.....
SynopsisPalladium has good corrosion resistance but is soluble in oxidising acids and fused alkalis. It readily absorbs hydrogen gas (up to 900 times its own volume), but its main use is as a catalyst for hydrogenation. Palladium is also used within the electronics in.....
SynopsisPraseodymium optical properties for use in amplification of telecommunication systems, including as a doping agent in fluoride fibers. It is also used in the scintillator for medical CAT scans. Used as additive for special steel, non-ferric alloy, hydrogen sto.....
SynopsisRhenium foil is mainly used for chemical vapor phase deposition coating, film(CVD), and physical vapor deposition(PVD). This includes hot-electron beam evaporation, low-temperature organic evaporation, atomic layer deposition(ALD), and metal-organic chemical v.....
SynopsisThe metal is silvery white and at red heat slowly changes in air to the resquioxide. At higher temperatures it converts back to the element. Rhodium has a higher melting point and lower density than platinum. It is highly reflective, hard, and durable. T.....
SynopsisA lanthanide group element, samarium is a silvery-white metal which is found in the minerals allanite, cerite, gadolinite and its namesake, samarskite; it has an abundance on earth of 7.9 ppm. It is relatively stable in dry air but oxidises on contact with moi.....
SynopsisIt finds applications in the aerospace industry. Another use of Scandium is in aluminum-scandium alloys for sports equipment, such as bicycle frames, lacrosse sticks, and baseball bats. The global Scandium Foil market was valued at US$ million in 2023 an.....
SynopsisThe electrical properties of selenium are of particular interest as it is both photovoltaic (i.e. it becomes an electrical conductor when exposed to light or ultra violet radiation) and photoconductive (i.e. the electrical conductivity increases with increasin.....
SynopsisAs Zirconium Foil (Zr Foil) has better mechanical strength under high temperatures, it is also used as support and structure components for high-temperature applications. Most Zirconium Foils are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film Chemi.....
SynopsisZinc is used widely throughout industry; for example, it is used as a galvanic coating on steel to prevent corrosion, and is used as a constituent of various alloy systems (e.g. with copper in brass), as well as in zinc-base alloys which can be used for diecas.....
