Iridium Spooled Wire

Iridium Spooled Wire combines superior corrosion resistance, strength, and high-temperature stability in a continuous wire form wound for precision use and efficient dispensing. Its stability in aggressive chemical and thermal environments makes it valuable across aerospace, electronics, and catalysis. Industries employ spooled iridium wire for electrode fabrication, thermocouple elements, and heating systems operating in corrosive atmospheres. Specific technologies benefiting include precision welding, high-temperature electrical contacts, and catalytic gauzes for ammonia oxidation. Research uses include micro-wire fabrication studies, testing of iridium alloys under thermal cycling, and miniaturized device integration. The spooled format enables consistent feed, automated processing, and reduced material waste, supporting both industrial-scale applications and laboratory experiments. Its balance of resilience, precision, and usability makes iridium spooled wire a vital material in advanced engineering and high-performance research.
