Iridium metal is employed when high corrosion resistance at high temperatures is needed, as in high-end spark plugs, crucibles for recrystallization of semiconductors at high temperatures, and electrodes for the production of chlorine in thechloralkali process. Iridium radioisotopes are used in some radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

∙ 10y agoIridium is made out of items used at high temperatures such as batteries, chargers, and epquipment for glassmaking. It also has a quality alike to platinum so it is very durable and can be used for building. One use of Iridium are the Radioactive Isotopes used in Radiation Theraphy, a treatment for Cancer.

What is iridium's classification?
Iridium belongs to the Transitional Metal family.
What type of radiation is emitted from Iridium-192?
The radiation emited is gamma ray
Is iridium man made or natural?
Metal that is a naturally occurring element.
What is gundanium alloy made of?
iridium osmium and cobalt melted together
What element go you get when combining iridium oxygen and nitrogen?
Well, this is a fun type question. The answer to this funny question is Iron (Ir of iridium, O for oxygen and N for nitrogen).But in principle, there is no chemical reaction and the element iron is not formed when iridium is treated with oxygen and nitrogen
What is iridium's classification?
Iridium belongs to the Transitional Metal family.
How do you change a lightning arrester to iridium?
You cannot. Iridium is a very rare and expensive metal. You could not afford a lightning arrester made of iridium.
How long do iridium spark plugs last?
iridium plugs are made to last 100,000 miles
When lead is made from iridium?
Lead was discovered in 7,000
What element has 3 i's in its name?
Iridium, Einsteinium
Does the copper kept buried for more than 100 years turn to copper iridium?
No, how can it? One type of atom doesn't spontaneously convert to another type of atom, except under conditions of great heat (as in the interior of stars), or in cases of radioactive decay. Iridium is a different element - a different type of atom. If no iridium was present at the start, none will appear.
