Samarium (Sm) Powder

Samarium (Sm) is prone to oxidation in the presence of air and should be protected from moisture and high temperatures.

Samarium (Sm) Powder Specification

Samarium (Sm) Powder Application

• It is used in the manufacturing of specialty alloys, which can enhance the strength of metals such as chromium, aluminum, and magnesium.
• One of the most notable uses of samarium is in samarium-cobalt magnets, which are among the strongest permanent magnets available. The nominal compositions of SmCo5 or Sm2Co17.
• Samarium compounds are also used in the production of nuclear reactors and as catalysts in chemical reactions, highlighting the element's versatility across various industries.
• It is added to ceramics and glass to increase the absorption of infrared light.

About Samarium Element

Samarium (Sm) is a rare earth element discovered by French chemist Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1879. This element is known for its magnetic and optical properties, making it valuable in a variety of high-tech applications. Samarium is often used in the production of optical glass, where it helps to improve the performance of lenses and other optical devices due to its ability to absorb certain wavelengths of light. Additionally, samarium ions play a significant role in ion exchange processes, particularly in the purification of water and other chemical separations.
