Huge Benefits Seen With Aluminum Cerium Alloys
June 8, 2016 | 1 Comment
Researchers have developed aluminum-cerium alloys that are both easier to work with and more heat tolerant than existing products. Aluminum-cerium alloys also promise to boost domestic rare earth mining by increasing the demand and, eventually, the value of cerium. The large team involves research scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) […]

The Very Best Magnets Could Be Cheaper
April 28, 2015 | 1 Comment
Researchers at the Ames Laboratory have used cerium, a widely available and inexpensive rare-earth metal, to create a high-performance magnet that’s similar in performance to traditional dysprosium containing magnets that could make wind turbines and other generator and motor sets less expensive to manufacture. Karl A. Gschneidner and fellow scientists at the U.S. Department of […]
