Cerium is a rare earth metal that is known for its ability to ignite spontaneously in air, as well as its use in the production of cerium oxide, which is used as a polishing compound. It is a soft, silvery-white metal that is often produced in the form of ingots or powder.
Cubes of cerium metal can be produced through a variety of methods, such as casting or cutting from larger ingots. Cerium metal is relatively soft and can be easily machined, so it can be shaped into a variety of forms through processes such as milling, turning, or grinding.
Cerium has a number of potential applications due to its unique properties. It is often used as a catalyst in the production of gasoline and other fuels, and is also used in the production of ceramics, glass, and other materials. It is also used in the production of alloys, as it can improve the corrosion resistance and strength of other metals.
Due to its reactivity with oxygen, cerium metal is typically stored in an inert atmosphere or under oil to prevent oxidation.

Application

Cerium is a malleable, soft, ductile, iron-grey metal, slightly harder than lead. It is very reactive: it tarnishes readily in the air, it oxidizes slowly in cold water and rapidly in hot water. It dissolves in acids. It can burn when heated or scratched with a knife.

Cerium is a fragile metal that easily oxidizes in plain air. It must therefore be stored under mineral oil or an inert gas.
