Specifications
1,Factory supply with best price
2,Diameter: from0.03mm-0.5mm
3,Used in nonstandard thermocouple
Description.
The alloy has been used in "nonstandard" thermocouples, electrical
contacts and for electrodes in medical research. The alloy is
harder and mechanically stronger than Platinum.
This wire features a 90% Platinum and 10% Iridium composition and
is widely used in the assembly of microelectrode probes. Iridium, a
Platinum group metal, is very dense and hard, imparting added
strength to the wire.
