Do you know the content of rare earth elements in magnets?
Rare earth elements are a group of 17 metallic elements, including fifteen lanthanide elements on the periodic table, as well as scandium and yttrium. They are essential components of over 200 widely used products, especially high-tech consumer products such as cellular phones, computer hard drives, electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as flat panel displays and televisions. Important national defense applications include electronic displays, guidance systems, lasers, radar, and sonar systems. Although the amount of rare earth elements used in a product may not be an important component of its weight, value, or volume, rare earth elements are necessary for equipment operation. For example, magnets made of rare earth elements typically only account for a small portion of the total weight, but without them, the spindle motors and voice coils of desktop and laptop computers would not be possible.What are the elements used to manufacture permanent magnets?Including samarium, neodymium, pr
