Iridium is an alloy containing iridium, which is a rare alloy with high melting point, high hardness, high corrosion resistance, etc., and is widely used in industrial and scientific and technological fields, such as catalysts, electronic components, medical devices, jewelry, etc. Iridium is a process of extracting iridium metal from waste iridium alloys, which has certain economic value and environmental significance. So, how much is Iridium? What are the factors that affect iridium? This article will introduce the following aspects.
First of all, the amount of iridium is related to the content of iridium.
The content of iridium in iridium alloy is the core factor that determines its ***, and the higher the iridium content, the higher the **. This is because iridium has a high market value as a rare alloy, and in addition to iridium, there are other metal elements in iridium alloys, such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc., which are relatively low in value and will increase the difficulty and cost of purification. Therefore, when estimating iridium, it is necessary to accurately determine the iridium content of the iridium alloy, generally using chemical analysis or spectroscopic analysis. According to different iridium content, iridium alloys can be divided into low iridium alloys, medium iridium alloys and high iridium alloys, and their iridium content is below 25%, between 25% and 75% and above 75% respectively, and their iridium content is also correspondingly different. Taking the market ** on February 13, 2024 as an example, the *** of one gram of crude iridium is about 710 yuan, so the *** of one gram of low-iridium alloy is about 1775 yuan, a gram of iridium alloy *** is about 3195 yuan, a gram of high iridium alloy *** is about 532$5.
Secondly, the ** of iridium is related to the relationship between supply and demand in the market.
The relationship between market supply and demand is another important factor affecting iridium, the greater the market demand, the higher the market demand, and vice versa. Market demand is affected by a variety of factors, such as fluctuations in the global market, increases and decreases in industrial demand, and the mining of iridium minerals. The main use of iridium is as an anti-wear coating and catalyst for high-quality scientific instruments, and iridium-platinum alloys are used in the production of thermocouples. It is also used to plate reflectors in headlights, repeaters, pen nibs, etc. The automobile manufacturing industry is a big user of iridium. At present, the main use of iridium in the automobile manufacturing industry is automobile exhaust catalyst. Other industrial sectors that consume iridium are glassmaking, dental alloy manufacturing, and jewellery products. With the continuous development of fuel cell technology and the gradual maturity of fuel cell vehicle technology, the amount of iridium used will continue to increase. Therefore, when estimating iridium, merchants need to pay close attention to market dynamics and make timely adjustments
Finally, the iridium is related to the purity and morphology of the iridium.
The purity and morphology of iridium are also important factors in determining its purity, the higher the purity, the purer the form, and the higher the grade. This is because pure iridium is more valuable in subsequent processing and applications, while impurities and impurities can reduce the quality and performance of iridium, and increase the difficulty and cost of purification. There are many forms of iridium, such as iridium powder, iridium black, iridium sheet, iridium wire, iridium ring, iridium rod, etc., among which iridium powder and iridium black are the purest and purest iridium gold, and its *** is usually higher. Iridium sheets, iridium wires, iridium rings, iridium rods, etc., need to be evaluated specifically according to their shape, size, weight, etc.
