Rare earths redefine the performance ceiling of metal materials
From the titanium alloy pressure-resistant shell of the 10,000-meter deep submersible to the nickel-based single crystal blade of the rocket engine, from the 600 km/h magnetic levitation of the NdFeB permanent magnet to the record-breaking lanthanum-nickel alloy with a hydrogen storage density, rare earths are redefining the performance ceiling of metal materials.
Application of Rare Earth in Metal Alloys: DeepCeLaTM Rare Earth Materials Revolutionize from Microstructure and Reshape the Macroscopic Performance Limit of Metal Materials
Application of Rare earth materials in metal alloys:
Light alloys: a “rare earth formulation” for weight reduction and efficiency increase
- Magnesium alloys — core elements: neodymium (Nd), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La); Function: Improve tensile strength, La surface modification can improve corrosion resistance.
- Aluminum alloy – core elements: cerium (Ce), scandium (Sc); Function: Improve conductivity and strength, Ce modification can improve the modulus of elasticity.
Superalloys: “Rare Earth Armor” for Extreme Environments
- Nickel-based single crystal alloys — core elements: lanthanum (La), gadolinium (Gd); Function: Eliminate sulfur and oxygen impurities, improve longevity, and improve oxidation resistance.
- Titanium-aluminum alloy — core elements: cerium (Ce), neodymium (Nd); Function: Increase elongation and reduce creep rate at high temperatures.
Iron and steel: a “rare earth balance” of strength and toughness
- High-strength steel — core elements: lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce); Function: Improve impact resistance, yield strength and weld crack susceptibility index.
- Stainless steel — core elements: yttrium (Y), gadolinium (Gd); Purpose: Improves pitting potential and chloride corrosion resistance.
Functional Alloys: The “Smart Materials Revolution” Driven by Rare Earths
- Permanent magnet alloys — core elements: neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy); Function: Improve the magnetic energy product of the motor and improve the temperature resistance
- Hydrogen storage alloys — core elements: lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), yttrium (Y); Function: Improve the density of hydrogen absorption at room temperature and improve the cycle life.
- Shape memory alloys — core elements: samarium (Sm), europium (Eu); Improve the temperature accuracy of the box transformer and improve the shape recovery rate
Frontier Exploration: The Extreme Challenge of Rare Earth Alloys
- Ultra-high temperature alloys
- Superconducting alloys
- 3D printing alloys
- Self-healing alloys
Rare earth alloys, more than “strong”
From the titanium alloy pressure-resistant shell on the 10,000-meter seabed to the magnesium alloy bracket of near-Earth satellites, from the minus 196°C liquid hydrogen storage tank to the white-hot rocket tail flame – rare earths are being precisely controlled at the atomic level, allowing metal materials to break through the shackles of physical laws and move towards the ultimate balance of strength, function and environment.
Our Advantage
The Xiamen Rare Earth Science and Technology Innovation Center and the Baotou Rare Earth High-tech Zone Industrial Base have established a three-level system of “basic research (Xiamen) – engineering transformation (pilot platform) – large-scale manufacturing (Baotou)”, reducing the technology transformation cycle by 40%.
Agile development mechanism and modular product library: Based on the three major platforms of nano-rare earth oxides, high-purity compounds, and functionalized salts, over 100 derivative materials can be quickly combined, covering special crystal form control (such as cubic cerium oxide), surface functional modification, and other requirements. Value-added service extension: Provide application simulation testing (such as catalytic performance prediction), competitive product benchmarking analysis, and patent layout consultation to help customers reduce trial-and-error costs
