✅ 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.
🔹 Features & Properties
📌 High Melting Point: ~2,446°C
📌 Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Stable in acids, alkalis, and oxidizing environments
📌 Outstanding Hardness & Wear Resistance
📌 High Density: 22.56 g/cm³
📌 Electrical Conductivity: Ideal for contacts and connectors
📌 Surface Finish: Polished or machined to tight tolerances
📌 Low Reactivity: Minimal surface oxidation even at high temperatures
🚀 Applications & Related Industries
✅ Electronics: Used in spark plugs, electrical contacts, and sensor devices
✅ Semiconductor Industry: As evaporation sources, crucible liners, and sputtering targets
✅ Aerospace & Defense: High-performance thermal and mechanical components
✅ Laboratory Equipment: Crucibles and sample holders for high-temperature analysis
✅ Jewelry & Luxury Goods: Due to its rarity and resistance to tarnish
✅ Medical Applications: Components for radiation therapy and implantable devices

💬 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.
