Rare Earth Elements

In response to U.S. President Trump's plan to raise tariffs on Chinese goods by up to 145%, China has retaliated by restricting rare earth exports. These materials are critical to the U.S. defense industry, particularly in the development of next-generation fighter jets.

Among the affected materials are seven heavy rare earth elements: samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium. These are essential for high-temperature coatings, radar systems, and stealth aircraft turbine blades. They are also used alongside structural metals like titanium, tungsten, and niobium to boost heat resistance and mechanical performance.

Rare earth elements also support vital industries such as electric vehicles and semiconductor manufacturing. With China tightening its export licenses, major supply chain disruptions are expected worldwide.


At Dong-A Special Metals Co., Ltd, we have seen a surge in demand for alternative alloy materials. Domestic alloyers are requesting feedstock scrap and compressed titanium bricketing (puck) as substitutes for imported materials. These products offer precision, usability, and consistency in melting applications.

Our titanium puck—named after its resemblance to a hockey puck—is tightly compressed. This increases the filling rate in furnaces and makes it easy to weigh and handle. The sponge form is ideal for atmospheric melting, while puck bricketing excels in electric or plasma arc melting (PAM) equipment.

Because the starting material is titanium Grade 1 scrap, the final product maintains a purity level above 99.1% Ti, which meets the requirements for steelmakers and alloy processors. These high-purity pucks are especially useful in large-scale and high-tech manufacturing.

As Industry 4.0 evolves, the need for diversified and efficient materials is growing. Dong-A Special Metals supports this evolution with advanced recycling technology, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional raw materials. We are proud to serve clients across Korea, Japan, and other global markets.

We continue to lead in low-carbon circular economy practices and contribute to ESG goals by promoting awareness of rare metal recycling. Our efforts aim to secure stable material supply chains and reduce environmental impact.

For inquiries about titanium puck, sponge substitutes, or alloy feedstock, contact Dong-A Special Metals Co., Ltd today.
