Neodymium oxide
Nd₂O₃ - Industrial rare earth oxide for magnetic materials, special glasses and laser technology
Neodymium oxide (Nd₂O₃) is a violet to slightly pink-colored powder and belongs to the group of rare earth oxides. It is an essential raw material for powerful permanent magnets and is also used in laser optics, glass coloring and other highly specialized industries. PROJECTOR supplies neodymium oxide in technical and high-purity quality for industry and research - with complete documentation and flexible logistics.
Typical areas of application for neodymium oxide:
The most important application is in the production of neodymium-iron-boron magnets (NdFeB), which are used in electric motors, wind turbines, hard disks and loudspeakers worldwide. Neodymium oxide is a key material in the development of high-energy magnetic materials. In laser technology, neodymium oxide is used as a doping element in laser crystals, e.g. in Nd:YAG lasers. These are used in material processing, medicine (ophthalmology, dermatology) and distance technologies (LIDAR). Nd₂O₃ also plays a role in glass processing - as a colorant for special glasses or for absorbing unwanted wavelengths.
Typical applications at a glance:
