Product Description
Iridium discs are precision-engineered components fabricated from high-purity iridium metal, known for its exceptional density, corrosion resistance, and stability at extreme temperatures. With purity levels ranging from 99.9% to 99.999%, these discs are used in demanding applications that require unmatched chemical inertness and structural integrity.

As one of the rarest and most corrosion-resistant metals, iridium is ideal for environments where other materials fail - including high-vacuum systems, crucibles, electrical contacts, and aerospace components. These discs are manufactured through high-temperature sintering, forging, and precision machining, ensuring tight tolerances and high-quality surface finishes.

Health & Safety Information

⚠ In bulk metallic form, iridium is stable and non-toxic

⚠ Fine iridium particles should be handled in ventilated areas

⚠ Always wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling

⚠ Dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations

 


 

🏭 Production Method & Equipment
Produced via electron beam melting or vacuum arc melting, followed by precision forging and CNC machining. Discs are annealed under inert atmosphere to relieve stress and ensure uniform microstructure. Final inspection includes dimensional checks, surface finish evaluation, and purity analysis using ICP-MS and XRF.

💬 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: Can iridium discs be used in ultra-high vacuum environments?
A1: Yes, iridium's stability and low outgassing make it ideal for UHV and cleanroom applications.

Q2: What surface finish options are available?
A2: Discs can be supplied as-polished, mirror finish, or fine-ground to meet specific application needs.

Q3: Is there any risk of oxidation at high temperatures?
A3: Iridium remains stable and forms only minimal surface oxide layers even above 1,000°C in air.
