Ausheds you continually post here as a non-holder telling all that will listen that they are designing dysprosium out of magnets and it appears to me you are also implying that the demand for dysprosium will decrease as a result
no doubt you will correct me if you believe I am miss-representing your views
if what you have been advocating is true, why then are dysprosium and terbium sales surging:-
Looking only at August, China exported 13,216 kilograms of dysprosium oxide, mainly to Vietnam (10,000 kilograms) and Japan (2,886 kilograms), representing a surge of 1015% year-on-year, and 4,101 kilograms of terbium oxide (to Japan, 2,701 kilograms and to France 1,200 kilograms), being a 577% increase year-on-year.
Then stepping back for a broader look at the first eight months of 2015, China exported 47 tons (47,000 kg) of dysprosium oxide and 24 (24,000 kg) tons of terbium oxide, up 565% and 327% respectively, when compared to the same period last year.
These soaring exports of China’s dysprosium and terbium evidence that illegal mining remains rife in China’s rare earth industry at present, with this illegal mining filling the critical shortage created by China’s production quotas imposed on dysprosium and terbium.
