"The production of three different pyrophoric alloys:
"Cer" or Auermetall I : Alloy out of fairly pure Cerium and Iron. Used for igniting purposes.
\"Lanthan" or Auermetall II : The Cerium-Iron alloy enriched with the element Lanthan. Used for light signals because of its particularly bright sparking power.
Erdmetall or Auermetall III : Alloy out of Iron and "natural" Cermischmetall; a rare earth metal alloy of corresponding natural deposits.
Both of the first alloys could not win its way through the market. only the easy to produce
Erdmetall, after the renaming it Auermetall I, obtained world wide status as the flint in the lighter industry."
