Description:

Samarium (Sm) Metal is a rare earth element known for its magnetic, optical, and catalytic properties. With a silvery-white appearance, samarium is used in permanent magnets, nuclear reactors, catalysts, and electronic devices. It plays a crucial role in aerospace, defense, and green energy applications.

Key Features:

  • Atomic Number: 62
  • Density: 7.52 g/cm³
  • Melting Point: 1,072°C (1,962°F)
  • Oxidation Resistance: Moderately reactive, forming an oxide layer in air
  • Magnetic Properties: Strong magnetic characteristics when alloyed

Applications:

Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) Permanent Magnets

  • SmCo magnets offer high-temperature stability and strong magnetic strength.
