Areas of application

Magnet with rare earths
Nuclear power
Catalytic converter

High-performance magnets are an important area of application for samarium. Samarium-cobalt magnets retain their performance even at temperatures of around 300 degrees Celsius, making them ideal for generators and drying ovens, for example. Another area of application is nuclear technology, where samarium is used in control rods. The rare earth element is also used in chemical catalysis, laser technology, optical glass and cancer therapy.
