Metal holmium powder is a rare metal powder with high purity and wide application value. Its chemical element symbol is Ho, atomic number is 67, belongs to the lanthanide group of rare earth metals. Holmium powder is stable at room temperature, but is easily oxidized in humid air and high temperature.
Holmium powder is widely used as a pole material for making the strongest static magnets due to its high permeability. At the same time, as a neutron absorber, it plays an important role in nuclear reactors and is one of the key materials in the nuclear energy industry. In addition, holmium powder is also used to dopant optical fibers to manufacture optical communication devices such as fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and fiber sensors, which promotes the development of fiber communication technology.
In the medical field, holmium laser lithotripsy technology uses the characteristics of holmium powder to reach the stone site through laser fiber, accurately crushing difficult stones, providing patients with more safe and effective treatment means. In addition, holmium powder is also used to make new ferromagnetic materials and additives for metal halogen lamps, showing its diversified application prospects.
