Copper-Cerium master alloy introduction
Copper-Cerium master alloy is the alloy that contains a rather high amount of Cerium element. It is usually the precursor of copper alloy with lower Cerium content. Cerium or other rare earth element is added to the copper to improve the performance of the alloy, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. The addition of rare earth metals modifies the microstructure and grain boundaries of the copper, resulting in improved mechanical and thermal properties. There are several purposes to make master alloy before the final products. The most important one is, adding master alloys ensures the uniform distribution of alloying elements throughout the melt. Master alloys also enable the optimization of manufacturing processes.
Introduction to cerium
Cerium, denoted by the symbol Ce and atomic number 58, is a versatile and silvery-white rare earth metal with a wide range of applications. It is known for its exceptional chemical reactivity and ability to switch between trivalent and tetravalent oxidation states. Cerium is extensively used in the automotive industry, where it acts as a catalyst in catalytic converters, reducing harmful emissions from vehicles and improving air quality. It is also a vital component in the production of glass, providing a yellow tint and enhancing the glasssresistance to UV radiation. Cerium compounds are employed in the manufacturing of polishing agents, such as in optical lenses, televisions, and smartphone screens, as well as in ceramics and phosphors for energy-efficient lighting. Its unique properties and diverse applications make cerium a valuable element in various industries, contributing to environmental sustainability, advanced technology, and everyday consumer products.
Copper-Cerium Metal Packaging
Copper-Cerium Metal are vacuum sealed in plastic bags or argon protected in other container for safety shipment. We also use heavy foam to protect this rare earth material. Common documents together with these rare earth metals are packing list and analytical report (COA).
