As an important part of chemical equipment, crucible is a container for melting and refining metal liquid and heating solid-liquid reaction, which is the basis for the smooth progress of chemical reaction. Crucibles were originally made of clay, and one of the earliest uses of platinum was to make crucibles. With the development of manufacturing […]
NEODYMIUM, GADOLINIUM, TERBIUM, Dysprosium, HOLMIUM, ERBIUM NEODYMIUM Atomic symbol: Nd Atomic weight: 144.24 Atomic number: 60 Electron configuration: 2-8-18-22-8-2 Oxidation states: +3 State of matter: solid Heavy metal, brittle Discovered in 1885 by Carl Auer von Welsbach Boils at 3127°C, melts at 1010°C Notes: Used in special alloys and glasses, neodymium is a silvery-white color […]
Crucibles are specialized containers for melting metallic materials at very high temperatures. The molten material is cast into new objects or used to make new alloys (different metals combined in specific proportions). Since crucibles are used to melt materials at high temperatures, the material used to make the crucible must have a higher melting point […]
