1.1 Uses & Benefits
It has no commercial uses, but its alloys are in high demand. Lanthanum and Nickel alloy is used for the hydrogen gas storage.
The best-known use for mischmetal alloy of Lanthanum is; as a ‘flints’ for cigarette lighters.
Its alloys with aluminum and nickel are used to make powerful magnets.
Few other alloys exhibit high-temperature strength and hence they are used in Turbines of Jet and Gas engine.
