What is the Platinum Iridium Ribbon?

Platinum-iridium alloy is a common precious metal alloy, which is usually used in high temperature and chemical corrosion environments, so it is widely used in aerospace, chemical industry, laboratory, and other fields. It has a high melting point, density, hardness, strength, and elasticity.

1. These characteristics become better when the content of iridium increases. When iridium is added to platinum, the chemical corrosion resistance of platinum can be significantly improved. Alloys containing more than 30% iridium are not corroded by boiling aqua regia.
2. In addition, the resistivity in platinum-iridium alloy increases with the increase of iridium, but the degree of resistance changes with temperature decreases.

Platinum-iridium alloy includes platinum-iridium wire, platinum-iridium strip, and platinum-iridium marker band. The platinum-iridium ribbon is suitable for occasions where large-area temperature sensing is required. In contrast, platinum-iridium wire is more suitable for occasions where local heating or fine processing is required.

Features of the Platinum Iridium Ribbon

1. High melting point: Platinum-iridium alloy has a very high melting point, which prevents it from melting at high temperatures, so it is widely used in high-temperature experiments and equipment.
2. Platinum-iridium alloy has high strength and hardness, which allows it to maintain its shape under high pressure.
3. Corrosion resistance: Platinum-iridium ribbon is resistant to corrosion by many chemicals, which makes it an ideal material for many chemical environments.
4. The resistance of platinum-iridium alloy changes little with temperature and can be used to make thermometers and other equipment that require high-precision temperature measurement.
5. Platinum-iridium alloy has good conductivity, so it can be used in many electrical devices.
6. Platinum-iridium alloy has good compatibility when in contact with biological tissue, so it is used to make medical devices, such as implantable medical devices and surgical tools.
7. Platinum-iridium alloy is relatively easy to process and prepare into various shapes, and can be used to make high-end jewelry.
8. Platinum-iridium alloy has strong oxidation resistance.

Applications of the Platinum Iridium Ribbon

1. High-temperature equipment:

Used in chemical, pharmaceutical, cement, and scientific research laboratories, as a high-temperature test carrier, used for experiments above 1400 degrees. It has the characteristics of high-temperature resistance and long service life.

2. Jewelry application:

Platinum-iridium alloy is mainly due to its rarity, hardness, and non-oxidation characteristics. In the jewelry industry, platinum-iridium alloy is often used to make high-end jewelry, such as rings, necklaces, and earrings.

3. Medical devices:

For example, it is often used in medical devices such as pacemakers and stents, which require materials that can be stably present in the human body for a long time and will not cause biological rejection. Used in the manufacture of dental materials, etc.

4. Industrial measurement:

Used in electrical instruments, standard rulers and standard weights, chemical industry, and the manufacture of precision alloys.

5. Chemical Industry

Used in the synthesis of ammonia oxidation to produce nitric acid.Used as a catalyst, oxidant, and gas absorbent.

Platinum-iridium alloy is a classic electrical contact material, used for aircraft engine ignition contacts, high-sensitivity relays, and micro-motor electrical contacts; potentiometers, conductive rings, and brushes for precision sensors such as aircraft, missiles, and gyroscopes. Platinum-iridium alloy can also be used as electrodes, injection needles, dental materials, standard resistors, standard rulers, and standard weights.
