Dysprosium Metal can be further processed to various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder. It is highly susceptible to magnetization, they are employed in various data-storage applications, such as in hard disks. Metallic dysprosium is bright silver in color and when combined tends to form greenish-yellow salts. Dysprosium is relatively stable in air at room temperature, yet tarnishes in moist air. The metal can be cut with a knife or machined without sparking (if care is taken to avoid overheating). Even small amounts of impurities can greatly affect dysprosium's properties. Applications: pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder, please visit Rare Earth Metals & Sputtering Targets page for more detailed information.
