Iridium Tube/Pipe Description

Iridium (Ir) is a dense, corrosion-resistant, and highly durable metal. Iridium Tube/Pipe is made from high-purity iridium, exhibiting superior high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and conductivity. Due to its high melting point and resistance to oxidation, Iridium tubes/pipes are perfect for high-temperature processes, vacuum systems, and as part of catalytic converters. Heeger Metal can supply high-quality iridium tubes and pipes with various specifications and customized solutions to suit industrial and research applications, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

Iridium Tube/Pipe Advantages

  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • High melting point
  • Oxidation resistance
  • High strength
  • High precision and customization

Iridium Tube/Pipe Applications

  • Aerospace Industry: Used in spacecraft components, rocket engines, and exhaust systems due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh conditions.
  • Chemical Processing: Employed in chemical reactors and systems that deal with highly corrosive substances, as iridium resists oxidation and degradation.
  • Electronics: Used in vacuum systems, as well as in components of electron microscopes and other high-precision instruments.
  • Catalytic Converters: Iridium pipes are used in catalytic converters for chemical reactions at high temperatures, especially in the automotive industry.
  • Medical Equipment: Used in medical devices that require high resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, such as in certain surgical tools or equipment exposed to high sterilization processes.

Iridium Tube/Pipe Packaging

Iridium Tube/Pipe is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional soft materials to support and prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
