One of our sources says it’s more of an application question, and that material suppliers would be glad to sell lead spheres and bronze screens, but they would probably not have the surface conditions appropriate for your application. He suggested you might be best off to contact regenerator manufacturers.
For rare earth materials, the only recommendation we received was to try a Google search. I did a quick search and found that Ames Laboratory describes itself as the “go-to source for expertise in the synthesis, analysis and engineering of rare-earth metals and their alloys,” so perhaps someone there could assist you. Their website (https://www.ameslab.gov/rare-earth-metals) says that their Materials Preparation Center is recognized for purification, preparation and characterization of rare earth metals (among other materials). I also came across a company called Polaris Rare Earth Materials.
Following are some commercial contacts. If these people do not have the specific materials that you need, I would suggest you ask them to recommend other suppliers for the materials.
