Product Overview
Rhodium ingot is a silver-white, hard metal belonging to the platinum group, characterized by its high reflectivity. Rhodium metal typically does not form oxides; molten rhodium absorbs oxygen but releases it during solidification. It has a higher melting point than platinum, but a lower density, and is insoluble in most acids.
Key Features
- High Reflectivity:Rhodium exhibits excellent reflective properties, making it suitable for manufacturing high-quality mirrors.
- Strong Wear Resistance:Rhodium can be used as a wear-resistant coating for high-quality scientific instruments, extending the lifespan of the equipment.
- High Melting Point:Rhodium's high melting point makes it suitable for high-temperature applications.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance:Rhodium is insoluble in most acids, particularly nitric acid.
Applications
- Catalyst Manufacturing:Used in the production of hydrogenation catalysts and other catalytic materials.
- Alloy Production:Rhodium can be synthesized with other metals to produce platinum-rhodium alloys, used in thermocouples and more.
- Coating Applications:Commonly used for coatings in searchlights and mirrors to enhance reflective performance.
- Electronic Devices:Rhodium coatings can be used for electrical contact components, such as telephone relays and pen tips.
- Jewelry and Decorative Items:Used as a polishing agent for gemstones, enhancing their appearance.
