Praseodymium

Praseodymium is used as a key alloying agent in high-strength permanent magnets and as a coloring agent in specialized glasses and ceramics.

Used as a component in Mischmetal and as an alloying element with magnesium to create high-strength metals for aircraft engines.

Praseodymium metal targets are used in physical vapor deposition to create thin films for magneto-optical data storage and optical coatings.

High purity praseodymium is evaporated in vacuum processes to deposit thin layers for electronic and optical device fabrication.
