Wollaston Platinum/Rhodium Alloy Spooled Wire (Pt90/Rh10)

Wollaston Platinum/Rhodium Alloy Spooled Wire (Pt90/Rh10) is a high-precision noble metal wire engineered for demanding thermoelectric and structural applications. Comprising 90% platinum and 10% rhodium, this alloy offers outstanding high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and stability in corrosive environments. It is widely used in aerospace thermocouples, high-purity glass fiber bushings, and advanced heating elements. With a processing diameter as fine as 0.025 mm, this wire exhibits excellent mechanical strength and creep resistance under thermal cycling, ensuring accurate and durable performance in precision temperature sensing. Recent manufacturing advancements, including additive manufacturing and high-temperature drawing, have optimized the wire's surface integrity, electrical resistivity, and production efficiency. The alloy also demonstrates favorable wettability with molten glass, making it essential for long-life performance in glass-forming nozzles. This spooled wire is crucial in research and industrial setups requiring reliable, inert, and conductive materials under extreme operating conditions.
