Seongan Completes Quality Evaluation of Rare Earth Metals at Korea Institute of Industrial Technology... Strengthening Credibility

Sungan has enhanced its credibility by receiving excellent quality evaluations for its rare earth metal prototypes.

On the 18th, Sungan announced that its neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) metal prototypes produced at its Vietnam factory received a "pass" rating from both domestic and international metal analysis companies.

Previously, last month, Sungan passed quality tests for the metal prototypes from Ningbo, a Chinese analysis company. Following Ningbo, additional analysis results were announced by domestic companies Hancheong RF and the Production Technology Research Institute, as well as Thermo Fisher in the United States.

According to the XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis results from Thermo Fisher, the mass ratios of neodymium and praseodymium in the metal prototypes produced by Sungan were 75.8% and 23.8%, respectively. This is similar to the mass analysis results from Ningbo in China. Thermo Fisher also gave a pass rating for the mass ratios of the remaining elements.

Domestic companies Hancheong RF and the Production Technology Research Institute evaluated the purity of the prototypes inversely by detecting the amount of impurities, contrary to the analysis methods of Ningbo and Thermo Fisher. As a result, according to Hancheong RF, the purity of NdPr reached 99.6%, and the Production Technology Research Institute showed a high purity level of 99.8%.

A Sungan official stated, “We have verified the quality of rare earth metals at a level suitable for global standards from credible domestic and international companies,” adding, “We believe we can mass-produce rare earth metals that meet the quality requirements demanded by prospective customers such as MP Materials and Seonglim without any issues.”
