Applications

Sieving Dysprosium

What are Dysprosium Powders? Dysprosium is a rare earth element known for its high magnetic susceptibility and thermal neutron absorption cross-section, making it valuable in various advanced applications. Dysprosium powders are utilized in the production of high powered electromagnets, nuclear reactor control rods, and specialized lighting. The particle size of dysprosium powder is crucial for its performance in these applications. For instance, powders with particle sizes of -100 mesh (≤150 microns) and -200 mesh (≤75 microns) are commonly used in producing new lighting sources, nuclear reactor control rods and other applications.

Contract Manufacturing Experience

Achieving a uniform particle size distribution is essential to ensure consistent performance in dysprosium’s applications. For example, in the production of high-performance magnets, uniform particle sizes contribute to optimal magnetic properties. Similarly, in nuclear reactors, precise particle sizing ensures effective neutron absorption. Traditional sieving machines struggle with dysprosium powders due to their high density and potential for oxidation, leading to challenges such as screen mesh blinding and inconsistent particle sizes.

Elcan Industries has worked extensively with sieving dense metal powders like dysprosium, helping manufacturers achieve fine and precise particle size distributions required for high-tech applications. Unlike conventional screening systems that suffer from blinding, our Hi-Sifter utilizes high accelerational vertical energy to efficiently separate dysprosium powders without screen mesh blinding. For ultra-fine separations, our Elbow Jet Air Classifier provides a no-screen solution, classifying powders down to 10 microns, ideal for next-generation magnetics and reactor materials. Whether you need to improve your sieving process or test a new powder formulation, our toll processing facility allows for full-scale production trials to optimize efficiency.
