Product Overview

Rhodium wire is a silver-white, hard metal wire belonging to the platinum group, known for its high reflectivity. Rhodium typically does not form oxides; molten rhodium releases absorbed oxygen during solidification. It has a higher melting point than platinum but a lower density and is insoluble in most acids, especially completely insoluble in nitric acid.

Key Features

High Reflectivity:Rhodium wire exhibits excellent reflective properties, making it suitable for high-quality optical applications.
Strong Wear Resistance:The hardness of rhodium allows it to perform exceptionally well in high-wear environments.
High Melting Point:Rhodium’s high melting point makes it suitable for high-temperature applications.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance:Rhodium is insoluble in most acids, especially nitric acid, ensuring its stability in corrosive environments.

Applications

Electronic Devices:Rhodium wire is widely used in electrical contact components, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Optical Components:Suitable for manufacturing high-quality mirrors and optical devices, enhancing optical performance.
Catalysts:Rhodium wire can be used as a catalyst, widely applied in chemical and industrial fields.
Jewelry Manufacturing:Used in the jewelry industry, providing both decorative and functional properties.

Rhodium Lump
