Production & Use

Sources

It is found in small amounts in the minerals gadolinite and molybdenum. Its melting point is quite high.

Uses

In mass spectrometers, it is mixed with tungsten or platinum to make filaments. Its greatest importance is that it is a rare alloying agent used for hardening metal components subjected to constant frictional forces.
