Iridium Rhodium Alloy Recycling

Iridium-rhodium alloy is an alloy made of two precious metal elements, iridium (Ir) and rhodium (Rh), which has excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. Both iridium and rhodium have very good chemical stability and high melting points, so iridium-rhodium alloys are often used in applications in high temperature and highly corrosive environments, such as catalysts, thermocouples, electrical contacts, and precision instruments. Especially in chemical reactions and oil refining processes, iridium-rhodium alloys can perform stably under extreme conditions. Iridium-rhodium alloys are also widely used in aerospace, automotive industry, electronics manufacturing and other fields, and are important high-end industrial materials.

The common ratios of iridium-rhodium alloys are as follows:

1.90% iridium / 10% rhodium alloy: This ratio of iridium-rhodium alloys has very good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and is especially suitable for applications in high temperature environments such as petrochemicals and catalytic reactions. The high iridium content gives it excellent stability and strength at high temperatures, and the addition of rhodium further enhances its resistance to oxidation, allowing it to operate for long periods under harsh conditions. Common applications include high temperature probes, thermocouples, high temperature electrical joints, and precision measuring instruments in aerospace. This ratio of alloys allows them to operate stably for long periods in strong acid and strong oxidizing environments, making them the material of choice for many high temperature applications.

2.80% Iridium / 20% Rhodium Alloy: The ratio of 80% Iridium and 20% Rhodium gives it higher mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, especially in extreme high temperature environments. The increased rhodium content makes the alloy more resistant to oxidation and chemical corrosion at high temperatures, making it suitable for more complex industrial conditions. This alloy is often used in the manufacture of high temperature electrical contacts, thermocouples, and some precision instruments that must operate in high temperature, strong acid, and strong alkaline environments. The 20% rhodium allows the alloy to handle more severe chemical reaction environments, making it often used in petrochemical, aerospace, and some high performance mechanical equipment.

3.75% Iridium / 25% Rhodium Alloy: In an alloy of 75% Iridium and 25% Rhodium, the proportion of Rhodium is higher, which further improves high temperature resistance and strength. The addition of Rhodium not only improves the corrosion and oxidation resistance of the alloy, but also improves its stability at very high temperatures. Therefore, this alloy is often used in high temperature furnaces, spacecraft materials, and some high-precision equipment that needs to operate stably at high temperatures for a long time. This ratio of Iridium-Rhodium alloy is also suitable for some special chemical reactors and industrial equipment, especially in high temperature atmosphere and high pressure environment, providing more sustained performance and stability.

4.95% Iridium / 5% Rhodium Alloy: The alloy of 95% Iridium and 5% Rhodium has a very high Iridium content, which provides excellent oxidation resistance and good thermal stability. Iridium has a very high melting point and excellent corrosion resistance, making this high iridium alloy especially suitable for extremely high temperature environments, such as high temperature laboratory equipment, certain high precision electronic components, and catalysts. Although the rhodium content is low, the addition of rhodium improves the strength and corrosion resistance, making the alloy perform better in high temperature, high pressure, and highly corrosive environments. It is commonly used in aerospace, nuclear industry, and other industrial fields with high precision and high requirements.
