Praseodymium Ingot

Product Overview
Praseodymium ingots are rare-earth metals with a silvery-white appearance, offering excellent ductility and malleability. With a melting point of 1204°C and a density of 6.773 g/cm³, praseodymium typically forms a hexagonal crystal structure at room temperature. While praseodymium exhibits strong corrosion resistance compared to other rare-earth metals, it forms a brittle green oxide layer when exposed to air, necessitating storage in a sealed container or mineral oil. Praseodymium ingots are widely used in high-tech applications, particularly in petroleum refining and fiber optics.
