Dysprosium is a rare earth element that doesn’t exist freely in nature due to its reactivity. Instead, it’s found within specific minerals as part of their rare earth content.
Major deposits are in China (dominant, especially ion-adsorption clays), Australia (e.g., Mount Weld), and the U.S. (e.g., Round Top, Texas, and Mountain Pass).
Dysprosium’s natural occurrence is characterized by its presence in specific mineral forms, each with varying concentrations and geographical distributions.
These elements are primarily used in neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets and Terfenol-D alloys, which are essential for advanced military systems
