Home > Recycling Services > Iridium Wire Iridium wire is made of the rare metal iridium made of fine wire material, melting point up to 2454 degrees Celsius, is known to be one of the highest melting point of the material, between 2100-2200 degrees Celsius can be used normally. Because the cost of pure iridium wire is too high, in normal industrial production, people will use platinum and iridium composition alloy material platinum iridium wire, common platinum iridium wire platinum iridium ratios are: Pt90Ir10 (platinum 90% / iridium 10%), Pt80Ir20, Pt70Ir30, etc., the higher the iridium content, the higher the corrosion resistance, hardness and resistivity.
Read Below to Learn About The Applications of Iridium Wire
Iridium wire is used in a much higher ambient temperature and strength than platinum-iridium wire. Chemical reactors and high-temperature thermocouples use iridium wire, which is used in the nuclear industry as an important radioactive heat source container material. Although the performance of platinum iridium wire than iridium wire is a little worse, but in the temperature does not exceed 1772 degrees Celsius working environment is a complete alternative to iridium wire.
Iridium wire also has applications in electronics and energy, such as spark plug ignition electrodes, fuel cell catalyst filaments and resistance wires. Spark plug manufacturers in order to reduce the cost of more will use platinum iridium wire to replace. Bosch Fine Wire Double Iridium is likely to be the use of double iridium alloy wire, high-performance automobiles will be used Bosch Fine Wire Double Iridium, this is equipped with a double iridium wire spark plugs are more resistant to high temperatures and catalysts, which can enhance the life of the device and efficiency.
Although platinum iridium wire can replace iridium wire in some industrial production, iridium wire is irreplaceable in high-end industry and scientific research.
