Dysprosium metal is a silver-white metal with a melting point of 1412°C, a boiling point of 2562°C, and a density of 8.55 g/cm3. Stanford Materials Corporation (SMC) supplies high-purity dysprosium metal and dysprosium powder.
Dysprosium is a lustrous, soft, silvery rare earth element. You can even cut it with a knife. Dysprosium's characteristics can be strongly affected by the presence of small amounts of impurities. Dysprosium is stable in air at room temperature but can be easily oxidized by oxygen and water at high temperatures and become dysprosium oxide. Dysprosium is superconductive at temperatures near absolute zero.

Dysprosium Metal Application
Dysprosium is mainly used in the manufacture of the new lighting source – dysprosium lamp. It is also used in nuclear reactors to make nuclear reactor control rods. In addition, dysprosium compounds are good catalysts in the petroleum refining industry.
Dysprosium Metal Packaging
Our dysprosium metal and dysprosium powder are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
