Samario (SM) Samarium

Heat Resistant Magnets

Samarium-cobalt (SmCo) magnets retain their magnetic properties even at high temperatures (up to 350°C), making them ideal for applications in extreme environments such as aircraft engines and sensors in deep oil wells.

Medical Lasers

Samarium-doped crystals are used in specialized lasers for ophthalmological, dermatological and dental treatments, where precision is critical to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

Nuclear Technology

Due to its high neutron-absorbing cross section, samarium is used in nuclear reactor control rods and as a “burnable poison” to regulate reactivity during the fuel lifecycle.
