• Powder

Applications:

Iridium is used for protective coverings, and is a component of alloys with Pt, Os and others that are used in the manufacture of chemical app aratus, weights and measures, parts for measuring equipment and the soldering in fountain pens. The addition of very small quantities of iridium to tungsten and molybdenum helps them maintain their strength at high temperatures. This metal is used to make crucibles for laboratory use, specifically for conducting experiments involving fluorine and its volatile compounds. Iridium is also used for making glass-blowing mouthpieces. A thermocouple with electrodes made from iridium and an iridium-mercury or iridium-rhodium alloy has been constructed for measuring temperatures of between 2,000° and 2,300°C.
