Welsbach was experimenting with rare earth metals such as cerium, lanthanum and neodymium and discovered that the alloy of 70% cerium, a metal known for its low-ignition temperatures, and 30% iron gave off sparks when scratched. If scratched by harder and sharper objects, such as a carbon steel blade, the alloy’s tiny shavings are oxidized and ignited, burning near 430°F. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"flint\" in most lighters is actually ferrocerium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOften called magnesium rods, but contain only traces of Mg.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis striker is great for lighting campfires or for emergency situations.
