Density: 7.52g/cm³
Melting Points: 1072°C
Boiling Points: 1794°C
Magnetic properties: Samarium is a magnetic material, which is highly magnetic at low temperatures.
Electrical properties: Samarium powder has good electrical conductivity, which is an inherent property of samarium metal.
Permanent Magnetic Materials: Samarium metal is the key component in the manufacture of high performance permanent magnetic materials such as SmCo₅ and Sm₂Co₁₇. These permanent magnetic materials are widely used in electronic devices such as motors, generators, loudspeakers, hard disc drives, etc. They can provide efficient and stable magnetic fields.
Luminescent Materials: Samarium is used to prepare luminescent materials such as phosphors. Under the excitation of ultraviolet rays or electron beams, phosphors containing Samarium can emit light of specific wavelengths, which is used in lighting and display fields.
Nuclear Energy: In nuclear reactor, Samarium can be used as neutron absorber to control the rate of nuclear reaction and ensure the safe operation of nuclear reactor.
Catalyst field: Samarium metal powder can also be used as catalyst or precursor of catalyst for some organic chemical reactions, such as hydrogenation reaction, redox reaction, etc., to promote the high efficiency of the reaction.
Samarium (Sm) powder, being highly reactive and prone to oxidation and moisture absorption, is typically packaged in sealed containers under inert gas (such as argon-filled aluminum foil bags or tightly closed metal cans) with cushioning materials to prevent damage during transportation. The packaging should be clearly labeled with the product name, purity, specifications, net weight, batch number, and handling instructions for safe handling and management.
Samarium powder should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. It must be kept away from oxidizers, acids, bases, and other reactive substances, with containers tightly sealed to prevent oxidation or spontaneous ignition, ensuring stable chemical properties and activity.
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.
