The chemical form must remain clear throughout the inquiry. **Particle & supplied state** Describe particle size, morphology, oxygen and other impurity limits, and whether a protective treatment or atmosphere is required. **Packaging & supply review** Provide use, quantity and destination. The current SDS, packaging and applicable shipment/trade conditions are checked before confirming a proposal. ## Before you choose **How do I distinguish a rare-earth metal, oxide and magnetic alloy?** Use the elemental symbol for metal, the full compound formula for an oxide, and the grade or composition for an alloy. For example, Nd metal, Nd2O3 and an Nd-Fe-B magnetic alloy are separate requests with different particle, handling and document requirements. **What does this directory cover?** This is an inquiry directory, not a guarantee of export eligibility or stock across the listed elements. Rare-earth oxides have their own category. ## Rare-Earth Magnetic Alloy Powders NdFeB and samarium-cobalt (SmCo) alloy powder sourcing. Compare composition, particle profile and the requirements of your magnetic processing route. [Explore 4 sourcing directions]() ## What to include in your request A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know. - Elemental metal identity and assay basis - Particle profile and surface/oxygen limits - Supplied treatment state and packaging - Intended use, quantity and destination ### Quantity, samples and documents Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums. We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements. [How we coordinate documents]() [Samples and testing]() [Send a material request]() ## Applications to explore.
