Flints and Original Auermetall®
The high affinity of lanthanide metals to oxygen results in the cerium mischmetal having a high tendency to oxidation. This is a unique basis for manufacturing flint.
Adding further alloying elements to the flint and using cutting-edge production technologies gives Original Auermetall® its one-of-a-kind properties:
- Highly pyrophoric
- Narrow dimensional tolerance
- High resistance to corrosion
- Rounded edges
Different degrees of flint hardness are available on request.
