Dysprosium is a bright silver metallic metal that is relatively stable in air. The metal is soft and ductile and can be cut with a knife. It has a hexagonal close-packed structure, a density of 8.536 gm/cm3, a melting point of 1407 °C, and a boiling point of 2600 °C.Dysprosium oxide, or dysprosia, occurs as a sesquioxide with the formula Dy2O3.The oxide is a light pink-white powder with a melting point of 2340 °C, a specific gravity of 7.81 gm/cm3, and a formula weight of 373.0.
Dysprosium’s thermal neutron absorption cross-section and high melting point enable it to be used in nuclear control applications. The element can be added to Neodymium-iron-boron magnets to raise the strength and corrosion resistance of applications like drive motors for hybrid electric vehicles. Like Terbium, Dysprosium is a component of Terfenol-D; a very promising material for future technology applications. It is also used in CDs, chemical reaction testing, laser materials, and dosimeters.
