restrictions on exports of dysprosium to the US has terrified American automakers. It's impossible to build a motor without this magnet, a senior US automotive executive told
the World Street Journal. If the US wants EV production to continue, dysprosium deliveries are crucial.
It is a heavy rare earth mineral with unique magnetic properties and high melting point.
Permanent magnets, which are essential components in EV batteries, computer hard drives, and wind turbines;
Nuclear reactors, where it is used in control rods due to its ability to absorb neutrons;
Production of laser and infrared materials;
Alloying with special stainless steels.
• China currently accounts for about
98% of the world's production of dysprosium. It produced about 1,000 to 1,200 metric tons of dysprosium oxide in 2022.
• The US imports almost
80% of its rare earth minerals from China, including dysprosium.
• Just 0.1% of China’s dysprosium is shipped to the US, which means that China won’t be as damaged by its export restrictions.
• In Russia, dysprosium ore is extracted in the Murmansk region’s Revda settlement in the country’s northwest.
