At the National Rare Earth Technology Summit Forum held a few days ago, experts pointed out that my country's rare earth resource reserves account for 80% of the world's total, but the application is still far behind the international advanced level. At present, the basic functions of some rare earth elements have not been fully exploited.

Comment: Since the basic functions and practical functions of rare earth materials are very different, it is necessary to coordinate the innovation of the entire industry chain of upstream and downstream, integrate production, education, research and use, and promote the "rare earth function +" to make rare earth functional materials truly valuable and become economic development New kinetic energy.

According to experts, "rare earth function +" means function + application. Rare earth, as a unique functional material, should be closely integrated with the application, seamlessly link the basic functions of the material with practical functions, and produce new application functions, aiming at the new generation of information technology industry, high-end CNC machine tools and robots, aerospace equipment, marine engineering Key areas such as equipment. Oriented by mid-to-high end, with the goal of national key projects, national defense science and engineering needs and key imported product substitution, strengthen the development of rare earth functions and strengthen mechanism research.
