Gadolinium Introduction
QSAM, as a supplier of rare earth metals, offers a range of high-quality products, including rods and bars. In general, our commercial-grade products have a purity level of 99.5%, while our Gadolinium rods products could obtain purity of 99.99% for Gadolinium /total rare earth metal (REM).
For small order quantities, Gadolinium rods are directly machined from cast ingots. However, as the demand increases or when finer rods (wire) are needed, QSAM leverages our state-of-the-art rare earth metal processing equipment to perform drawing processes. This allows us to meet the requirements of larger orders and achieve the desired rod dimensions.
Following the drawing process, the rods undergo a polishing stage to eliminate any oxide layers present on the surface. This ensures that the rods are free from impurities and ready for their intended applications. QSAM is committed to delivering high-quality rare earth metal products, meeting the needs of various industries with precision and reliability.
Introduction to Gadolinium
Gadolinium, symbolized by Gd and atomic number 64, is a rare earth metal that possesses distinctive magnetic and medical properties, making it highly valuable in various applications. Gadolinium is widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a contrast agent, enhancing the visibility of tissues and improving diagnostic accuracy. Its magnetic properties allow for clearer and more detailed imaging of organs and blood vessels. Gadolinium is also employed in neutron radiography, nuclear reactors, and as a moderator in nuclear power plants due to its ability to efficiently capture neutrons. Furthermore, gadolinium compounds are utilized in the production of phosphors for lighting, such as compact fluorescent lamps and X-ray screens. Its unique magnetic and medical properties make gadolinium a vital element in healthcare, imaging technology, and nuclear applications.
Gadolinium Rod Packaging
Gadolinium Rod 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).
