On this page I'll provide comprehensive data for Neodymium. I hope you profit from it.
Neodymium Overview
Name Origin
Greek: neos and didymos (new twin).
Symbol
Nd (Neodymium)Description
Silvery-white, rare-earth metal that oxidizes easily in air.
Discovery
Discovered By: C.F. Aver von Welsbach
Year: 1925
Location: Austria
Sources
Made from electrolysis of its halide salts, which are made from monazite sand.
Uses
Used in making artificial ruby for lasers. Also in ceramics and for a special lens with praseodymium. Also to produce bright purple glass and special glass that filters infrared radiation. Makes up 18% of Mich metal, which is used in making steel.
