Terbium Metal (Tb Metal)

Terbium Metal (Tb Metal) — designated under commercial item code TB1096 — is a heavy rare earth element (HREE) supplied in pure metallic form (typically $\ge 99.9\%$ purity) for high-performance industrial and technological applications.

Technical Specifications

• Atomic Number / Weight: 65 / 158.93 g/mol
• Form & Standard Grades: Sputtering targets, ingots, rod, foils, or powder ($\ge 99.9\%$ TREM purity, with low trace iron/silicon limits).
• Physical Properties: Silvery-grey, soft, malleable, and ductile heavy metal with high magnetic susceptibility.

Primary Industrial Applications

• Neodymium (NdFeB) Permanent Magnets: Added to high-grade NdFeB permanent magnets to improve high-temperature performance and coercivity in electric vehicle (EV) motors, wind turbines, and industrial automation.
• Terfenol-D Alloys: Mixed with iron and dysprosium to produce giant magnetostrictive alloys used in sonar transducers, acoustic devices, and precision micro-actuators.
• Green Phosphors & Optoelectronics: Used as a dopant in trichromatic phosphors for flat-panel display screens and energy-efficient LED lighting.

Description:
Terbium is a silvery-gray, malleable, soft and ductile rare earth element which can be cut by a knife. Terbium is relatively stable in air. It is never found in nature as a free element, however it is readily found in minerals such as cerite, gadolinite, and euxenite. Terbium compounds are highly fluorescent and are frequently used to produce green phosphors.

Applications of Terbium:

• Used as a dopant in calcium fluoride, calcium tungstate and strontium molybdate. 
• Used in actuators, naval sonar systems, sensors and other devices.
• Used in alloys to produce electronic devices. 
• Used for fuel cells as a crystal stabilizer.
