Molecular weight: 336.48g/mol
Colour: Light blue.
Density: 7.24g/cm³, it is denser, which makes it weighty and stable in applications, such as in ceramics, alloys, and other materials to increase the density and weight of the material.
Melting point: 2233°C (4051°F) or about 1900°C (data from different literature vary slightly). The high melting point ensures that it maintains stable physical properties at high temperatures and can be used in high temperature related processes and applications.
Boiling point: 3760°C (6800°F).
Solubility: very slightly soluble in water, the solubility is 0.00019g/100ml water at 20℃, the solubility is 0.003g/100ml water at 75℃, but easily soluble in inorganic acids.
Hygroscopicity and carbon dioxide absorption: It easily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in the air, so it needs to pay attention to moisture-proof and sealing during storage and use.
Magnetic properties: Nd2O3 has certain magnetic properties, it is one of the important raw materials for manufacturing permanent magnetic materials, and can be used to manufacture strong magnetic NdFeB permanent magnets.
Optical properties: It has important applications in the field of optics, where it has absorption and emission properties for light of specific wavelengths.
Permanent magnet materials: Neodymium oxide is a key raw material for NdFeB permanent magnets, widely used in electric motors, wind turbines, electronics, aerospace and hard disk drives.
Optical field: It is used in laser materials such as Nd:YAG for cutting, welding, marking and medical applications, and as a glass coloring agent for colored, filter and protective optical glass with special optical properties.
Ceramic field: As a ceramic dopant, neodymium oxide improves ceramic performance and appearance, especially for high-temperature glazes.
Electronic field: Neodymium oxide is used as a dopant in ceramic capacitors to enhance electrical performance.
Alloy materials: Adding neodymium oxide to magnesium or aluminum alloys improves high-temperature performance, corrosion resistance and airtightness for aerospace applications.
Catalytic field: Neodymium oxide can be used as a catalyst or catalyst carrier in chemical reactions such as polymerization.
Neodymium oxide powder is packaged in professional moisture-proof and contamination-proof packaging. The inner layer is a sealed moisture-proof bag or vacuum packaging, and the outer layer is a reinforced cardboard box or drum. This effectively prevents moisture, oxidation, and impurity contamination during transportation and storage, ensuring stable powder quality.
The product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, avoiding direct sunlight and high humidity, and away from corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis. Storage in its original sealed packaging will maintain the chemical stability and performance of the neodymium oxide powder for a long period.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
