General information on Dyprosium

The chemical symbol Dy, is a metal from the lanthanide group, shiny, silvery in color. has low toxicity. Like other lanthanides, it is found in the minerals monazite and bastnaesite. It is also found in smaller amounts in some other minerals, such as xenotime and fergusonite. Dysprosium can be extracted from these minerals by ion exchange and solvent extraction. The metal can also be obtained by reducing dysprosium trifluoride with calcium metal. Evek GmbH offers to buy dysprosium. The price from the manufacturer. The supplier provides prompt delivery of products to any address.

Physical properties

  • Melting point - 1412 °C;
  • Boiling Point - 2567 °C;
  • Density - 8550 kg/m3;
  • Number of isotopes - 7;
  • Specific heat capacity - 173 J/kgK;
  • Modulus of elasticity - 164 GPa;
  • Tensile strength - 2470 MPa;
  • Temperature of increased ductility and deformability - more than 800 °C.

Applications

Because this metal easily reacts with water and air, it is rarely used in its pure form. Its main use is in alloys for neodymium-based magnets. This is because dysprosium is resistant to demagnetization at high temperatures. This property is important for magnets used in motors or generators. Such magnets are used in wind turbines and electric vehicles, so demand for dysprosium is growing rapidly. Dysprosium iodide is used in halide discharge lamps. The presence of this salt allows the lamps to produce a very strong white light. Nuclear reactor control rods use oxide-nickel-nickel metal ceramics (a composite material of ceramics and metal). It easily absorbs neutrons and does not swell or shrink when bombarded with neutrons for long periods of time.
