Rare Earth Magnets Rare Earth Metal
Who reduces rare earth oxide to metal domestically, rather than sending oxide overseas for it?
What it is
Rare earth reduced from oxide to metal, usually by molten salt electrolysis or metallothermic reduction. The quietest link in the magnet chain and historically the one least present in the West: a country can mine and even separate rare earths and still have to send the oxide abroad to be turned into metal.
