Short answer: Rare earth metals are the fifteen lanthanides plus scandium and yttrium, used for neodymium magnets, catalysts, phosphors and alloys, supplied as metal, oxide or mischmetal with certificate, and they are central to wind, electric-vehicle and defence supply chains where magnet grade matters most.
At a Glance
What Rare Earths Are
Rare earths are covered by our Rare Earth Metal Supplier and link to our Wind Turbine Guide and EV Charging Guide; the magnet basis is in our Rare Earth Magnet Guide.
Key Elements and Use
Neodymium and dysprosium make magnets, lanthanum and cerium make catalysts, with the defence context in our Defense Military Guide and corrosion notes in our Corrosion Resistance Guide.
Buying Considerations
Buyers watch grade, traceability and price, with cost notes in our Cost Price Factors Guide and selection help in our How to Choose a Supplier; inspection is in our Quality Inspection Guide.
Quality and Sourcing
Rare earths are checked by chemistry, with methods in our Quality Inspection Guide; buyers confirm grade via our Mill Test Certificate Guide and pack per our Export Packing Guide.
