专家认为,四种稀土功能材料对稀土应用量较大、发展前景十分看好。一是稀土永磁材料。永磁体作为稀土材料最重要的应用领域之一,是支撑现代电子信息产业发展的基础材料,与人们的生活息息相关。据英国罗斯基尔信息服务公司估计,1995年平均每辆汽车使用20台小型永磁马达,到2005年 Experts believe that the four rare earth functional materials on the application of large amounts of rare earth, the development prospects are very good. First, rare earth permanent magnet materials. As one of the most important applications of rare earth materials, permanent magnets are the basic materials that support the development of modern electronic information industry and are closely related to people's lives. According to the estimation of Roskilde information service company in Britain, an average of 20 small permanent magnet motors per vehicle were used in 1995 and by 2005
