Neodymium oxide, chemical formula Nd2O3, is a metal oxide. It is insoluble in water and soluble in acid. Neodymium oxide is mainly used as colorant for glass and ceramics, raw material for making metal neodymium and strong magnetic neodymium iron boron. Adding 1.5% to 2.5% nano neodymium oxide to magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy can improve the high temperature performance and gas Tightness and corrosion resistance, widely used as aerospace materials. In addition, the nanometer yttrium aluminum garnet doped with nanometer neodymium oxide produces a short-wave laser beam, which is widely used in the industry for welding and cutting of thin materials with a thickness of less than 10mm. In medical treatment, nanometer yttrium aluminum garnet laser doped with nanometer neodymium oxide is used to remove surgical or sterilize wounds instead of scalpel. Nano neodymium oxide is also used in the coloring of glass and ceramic materials as well as in rubber products and additives.
