Properties common to all products in this list

Composition: Pt 80/Ir 20 Form: Rod Material: Platinum/Iridium Commodity: Precious Metals Temper: As Drawn
Platinum Iridium Alloy Rod (Pt80/Ir20) delivers superior corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability in a rigid cylindrical format that ensures exceptional structural strength and dimensional precision under sustained load. The Pt-Ir composition resists chemical attack, oxidation, and deformation even in aggressive industrial atmospheres, making it ideal for aerospace actuator shafts, precision spindle components, and alignment pins in metrology systems where accuracy is critical. Its rigidity under torsional and compressive stress supports applications in medical instrument frames, electrical contact posts, and vacuum chamber fixtures. Research applications include long-term electrochemical stability testing, mechanical fatigue evaluation in noble metal alloys, and the fabrication of durable high-performance electrode supports. The rod’s combination of mechanical resilience, controlled dimensional tolerances, and resistance to extreme chemical and thermal stress ensures dependable, repeatable performance across both high-specification industrial operations and advanced scientific programs.
