It's widely used in below areas based on it's unique properties:
Iridium Spark Plugs: Known for their long lifespan and reliable performance, iridium spark plugs are used in various automotive engines due to their hardness and high melting point. These plugs enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions compared to traditional nickel or platinum alternatives.
Iridium in Jewelry: Iridium is occasionally used in jewelry as an alloy to strengthen platinum. Due to its hardness and corrosion resistance, it helps extend the life of platinum jewelry pieces while maintaining their luster.
Iridium in Catalysis: Iridium catalysts are employed in various industrial processes, such as the production of acetic acid. Its properties are advantageous in homogenous catalysis, allowing efficient chemical reactions and increasing yields in chemical manufacturing.
Iridium as Alloy Component: Used in alloys for manufacturing products such as crucibles and electrical contacts, iridium imparts exceptional resistance to wear and heat, crucial in high-stress applications like aerospace and electronics.
Iridium was discovered in 1803 by Smithson Tennant in London alongside osmium, while examining the deposits left after dissolving platinum in aqua regia. Its discovery helped advance the understanding of the platinum group metals.
