Application of Gadolinium Metal

Magnetic materials: Gadolinium powder is used to produce high-performance magnetic materials. Its unique magnetic properties make it suitable for applications in permanent magnets, magnetic refrigeration, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, enhancing the performance of these technologies.

Nuclear Application: Gadolinium is an effective neutron absorber, so gadolinium powder can be used in nuclear reactors and radiation shielding. It is often added to control rods and other components to help regulate nuclear fission and improve the safety of nuclear power generation.

Phosphors and Electronics: Gadolinium powder is used to produce phosphors for display technologies such as cathode ray tubes and LED screens. Its light-emitting properties improve the brightness and color quality of displays, making it a necessity in electronics and lighting applications.

Packaging: Double layer plastic bag inside, vacuum filled with argon gas, packaged in an outer iron bucket or box, 10kg, 25kg/package.
