Neodymium oxide is mainly used as a colorant for glass and ceramics

Overview of Neodymium Oxide Nd2O3 Powder

Neodymium oxide, whose chemical formula is Nd2O3, is a metal oxide. Insoluble in water, soluble in acid. Neodymium (III) oxide or secondary neodymium oxide is a compound composed of neodymium and oxygen. It forms very light gray-blue hexagonal crystals. Neodymium (previously considered a mixture of elements) is partly composed of neodymium oxide.

The light blue solid neodymium oxide powder turns dark blue when wet. Easily humid, can absorb carbon dioxide in the air, insoluble in water, soluble in inorganic acids. The relative density of neodymium oxide is 7.24g/cm3. At a melting point of about 1900°C, heating in air will generate heat and expensive neodymium oxide. Neodymium oxide is slightly soluble in water, with solubility of 0.00019g/100mL water (20℃) and 0.003g/100mL water (75℃). 

Application of Neodymium Oxide Nd2O3 Powder

Neodymium (III) oxide is used to paint glass (including sunglasses), make solid-state lasers, and color glass and enamel. Neodymium-doped glass will turn purple after being absorbed by yellow and green light, which is used for welding goggles. Some neodymium-doped glasses are two-color. In other words, it changes color according to the light. The glass named after the mineral emerald is blue in sunlight and red in artificial light. Neodymium (III) oxide is also used as a polymerization catalyst.

In addition, neodymium oxide is mainly used as a colorant for glass and ceramics. In the metal neodymium and strong magnetic neodymium iron boron raw materials, adding 1.5% to 2.5% of nano neodymium oxide to the magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy can improve the high temperature performance, air tightness and corrosion resistance of the alloy. , And is widely used as aerospace materials. In addition, the short-wave laser beam produced by nano-neodymium oxide-doped nano-yttrium aluminum garnet is widely used in industry for welding and cutting thin materials with a thickness of less than 10 mm. In medical treatment, nano-yttrium aluminum garnet laser doped with nano-neodymium oxide is used instead of scalpel for surgical removal or disinfection of wounds. Nano neodymium oxide is also used for the coloring of glass and ceramic materials, as well as rubber products and additives.
