Samarium (Sm) is a rare-earth lanthanide metal with a silvery-white appearance and moderate density. It is primarily used in high-performance permanent magnets (samarium–cobalt magnets) and as an alloying element to enhance corrosion and oxidation resistance in specialty steels and superalloys. Engineers select samarium-based materials for applications requiring strong magnetic properties at elevated temperatures or exceptional thermal stability where conventional ferromagnets would degrade.
