Rare metals refer to metals that are scarce in the Earth's crust, dispersed in distribution, or difficult to extract from ores. Examples include rhenium, lithium, beryllium, titanium, zirconium, germanium, niobium, hafnium, tungsten, tantalum, and rare earth metals, among others. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, these metals play an irreplaceable and critical role in high-tech, energy, medical, and other key industries. But how exactly do rare metals contribute to these fields, and what are their future development trends?
