2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Samarium metals helps stimulating body metabolism.
Samarium metals was 1st observed by Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac in Dydimia in 1853.

Zinc metal found (obtain) in many forms like granules, foil, dust and in a powder form.
The leading producers of Zinc metal are Australia, Canada, China, U.S.A and Peru.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Magnets of Samarium cobalt alloy are stronger than that of Iron and hence, they are used in microwave application.

Samarium metal also used in optical lasers and infrared absorbing glasses and as a neutron absorber.

It is mainly used for Galvanizing other metals.
It is also used for manufacturing die-casting and it is very essential for automobile industry.
