Product Overview
Samarium lumps are rare earth metals known for their high chemical stability. They are quite stable in dry air, but form an oxide layer when exposed to moist air. Samarium dissolves in acids but is insoluble in water. It is a metal that readily combines with non-metallic elements and can self-ignite in fine powder form. In nature, samarium primarily exists in the form of trivalent samarium salts. The unique properties of samarium make it highly valuable in several high-tech fields.

Product Features

High Purity:With purity ranging from 3N to 5N, ensuring efficient performance and long-term stability
Stability:Exhibits strong stability in dry air, making it suitable for storage and use
Solubility:Soluble in acids but insoluble in water, it readily reacts with non-metal elements
Safety:Care should be taken to avoid contact with acids, oxides, and moisture. Fine powder forms should be handled with fire safety precautions

Applications

Neutron Absorbers:Samarium is used in the nuclear energy industry for neutron absorption, often employed to control neutron flux in reactors
Optoelectronic Equipment Manufacturing:Widely used in the production of optoelectronic devices, especially in lasers, infrared spectroscopy, and other equipment
Permanent Magnetic Materials:Samarium-cobalt magnets are a significant commercial application of samarium, offering strong magnetic properties and used in high-end permanent magnetic devices
High-Performance Alloys:Samarium is used to produce specialty alloys that enhance corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, applied in aerospace and electronic equipment

Product Overview
Samarium powder is a high-purity metallic powder made from the rare earth element samarium, characterized by a silvery metallic luster. As a typical representative of the lanthanide series, samarium exhibits excellent chemical and physical properties, predominantly existing in the +3 oxidation state. Freshly prepared samarium powder is prone to oxidation in air and must be stored in an inert gas environment. Its stable structure and broad chemical reactivity make it valuable in various applications.
