Holmium (Ho) Plate/Sheet/Foil

The production of Holmium foil involves a combination of casting, rolling, and annealing processes. While thinner foils are typically achieved through rolling, the advantage of purchasing a small quantity of thicker sheets is that they can be directly cut from the ingot. This approach effectively reduces the minimum order quantity and lead time.
Holmium, symbolized by Ho and atomic number 67, is a rare earth metal with unique properties that find applications in various fields. Holmium is mainly used in the production of powerful magnets, particularly in high-strength magnets used in medical devices, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Its magnetic properties allow for precise control and manipulation of magnetic fields in these applications. Holmium is also utilized in nuclear reactors as a neutron absorber, contributing to the safe and efficient regulation of nuclear reactions. Additionally, holmium oxide is employed in the production of specialized glass and optical filters, enabling the selective absorption and manipulation of specific wavelengths of light. Its distinctive properties and contributions to magnets, nuclear technology, and optical applications make holmium a valuable element in advancing healthcare, energy, and optical sciences.
Holmium Sheet 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).
