1.1 Uses & Benefits
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.
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.
