Polished 0.15mm 1493MPa 22.56g/Cm3 Platinum Iridium Wire

Platinum Iridium Wire Manufacturer

The Platinum Iridium Wire  has been used in "non-standard" thermocouples, electrical contacts and for electrodes in medical research. The alloy is harder and mechanically stronger than Platinum.

Platinum Iridium Wire Applications

Owing to its high resistance to corrosion and good ductility, Platinum Iridium Wire has seen numerous applications in the field of electrical contact. The high hardness and low contact resistance of the 10 and 20 percent iridium alloys make them particularly suitable for low current, low-pressure applications where dust contamination prejudices the performance of softer materials.

Platinum-iridium alloys are commonly used as electrodes for pacemakers and defibrillators, catheters and stents. 90% platinum – 10% iridium or 80% platinum – 20% iridium alloys are ideal for these applications.

We also provide 75% platinum – 25% iridium and 70% platinum – 30% iridium for manufactures of springs and brain coils for implant applications.
