Gadolinium Metal

Designations:

Chemical Name: Gadolinium

Chemical Formula: Gd

Description:

This silvery-white, rare earth metal is malleable and ductile. Gadolinium is relatively stable in dry air, but forms an oxide coating in moist air which falls off, exposing fresh metal. Gadolinium has unusual superconductive properties and when alloyed with iron, chromium or related meals is found to greatly improve workability and resistance to temperature and oxidation. Gadolinium also has unique magnetic properties.
