What are rare metals

R l f 47 l i l di 17 hRare metals are a group of 47 elements including 17 rare earths

FeaturesDeposits are small and unbalanced geographically.

Extraction, which requires sophisticated technologies, is difficult.

Supplies can be impacted by the politics of the supply country.

Typical rare metals

Ore Features Mainstay applications (examples of familiar end products) Major producing regions

Tungsten Solid, strong for heat Special steel (automobile, drill) China

Molybdenum Strong for acid and heat Stainless (for sink unit) China

Vanadium Used to give steel higher strength Special steel (automobile) China/Russia/South Africa

Indium Easy to transmit electricity and light Transparent electrode (LCD TV) China/France

Antimony Hard to burn Plastics (semiconductor, digital consumer electronics) China
