Neodymium (Nd)
Very important applications of neodymium are:
- alloying of special structural alloys and steels (modification of high-quality steels), neodymium as an additive of 1.5% increases the strength of pure titanium by one and a half times and therefore serves for its alloying.
- production of powerful permanent magnets,
- production of colored glass (violet neodymium glass) and laser materials (wavelength 1063 nm - infrared radiation).

Neodymium metal chemical properties
Purity: not less than 98.7%;
Density: 7.007 g / cm³;
Melting point: 1294 K;
Boiling point: 3341 K;
Neodymium was discovered in 1885 by the Austrian chemist Carl Auer von Welsbach. It is present in significant quantities in the ore minerals monazite and bastnäsite. Neodymium is not found naturally in metallic form or unmixed with other lanthanides.
Neodymium is also used with various other substrate crystals, such as yttrium aluminium garnet in the Nd:YAG laser. This laser usually emits infrared at a wavelength of about 1064 nanometers. The Nd:YAG laser is one of the most commonly used solid-state lasers.
