Application
Praseodymium's major use is as an alloying agent along with magnesium to produce highstrengthsteel that is used in airplane engines and automobiles parts. Notwithstanding its greenish color, another important use of praseodymium is as a yellow pigment to color glassand ceramics. Along with several other rare-earths, it is also used to form the electrodes forhigh-intensity arc lamps. It is used to manufacture safety goggles that filter out strong yellow light (used in welding,for example). Misch metal uses about 5% Pr in the manufacture of cigarette lighter flints.
