Dy (Noun)
Meaning
A trivalent metallic element of the rare earth group; forms compounds that are highly magnetic.
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- The most common use of Dy is in the production of rare-earth magnets because of its powerful magnetic properties and relatively high neutron-absorbing ability.
- Magnetic properties of the new technology relied on low-temperature crystal growth of dysprosium-iron compounds.
- Boron and Dysprosium have been alloyed to produce a new versatile shielding material for space use.
- A common alloy for use with a non-matching piston or cylinder wall consists of alloy parts mostly formed by other key agents as well as Dysprosium.
- This corrosion reduces Dy susceptibility typically observed to improve strength and make metals industrially available for equipment manufacturing usage.
