由于关键重元素短缺和对中国的依赖,美国为建立一个稀土磁铁供应链而奋斗。 The U.S. struggles to build a rare earth magnet supply chain due to shortages of critical heavy elements and reliance on China.

美国和西方盟国正努力建立国内稀土磁铁供应链, 以减少对中国的依赖, The U.S. and Western allies are advancing efforts to build a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain to reduce reliance on China, focusing on MP Materials' Nevada and California operations. 然而,由于大量稀土元素严重短缺,例如对高性能磁铁在防御、EV和风力涡轮机中必不可少的和等稀土元素严重短缺,使进展放慢。 However, progress is slowed by a critical shortage of heavy rare earth elements like dysprosium and terbium, essential for high-performance magnets in defense, EVs, and wind turbines. 尽管进行了大量投资和建立了新的伙伴关系,但美国缺乏足够的国内加工能力,预计到2030年,中国将满足91%的西方重稀土需要。 Despite significant investment and new partnerships, the U.S. lacks sufficient domestic processing capacity, with China expected to supply 91% of Western heavy rare earth needs by 2030. 全球需求超过供应,抬高价格,并突显供应链中持续存在的脆弱性。 Global demand outpaces supply, driving up prices and highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities in the supply chain.
