Gadolinium (Gd) Powder

Product Information

Gadolinium metal powder is dark brown in color and easy to oxidize in the air. Gadolinium metal powder shall be kept from moist and high temperatures. Gadolinium metal powder is used as an additive in specialty steels and special alloy materials.

Gadolinium is an important element that is placed in the F block of the periodic table with the atomic number of 64 and symbol Gd. The most beneficial use of Gadolinium powder is in the nuclear industry. It is widely used, particularly in the neutron radiography and in shielding of the nuclear reactor. It is also beneficial as the main component of shutting down the nuclear reactor. The use of gadolinium powder as the burnable poison is an example in this regard. Gadolinium powder can be easily used as a catalyst, for example, decarboxylation of oxaloacetic acid. In the field of metallurgy, the use of gadolinium powder is one of the important parts of the process. It works to improve usability and workability. The use of gadolinium powder in the creation of memory-related items, for example, compact discs, and computer memory is an important example. There are multiple fields in which Gadolinium plays an important role.
