Iridium is a corrosive resistant element even when subjected to high temperatures of around 2000 deg centigrade..Its a rare earth element atomic number 77.
Corrosion and heat resistance makes iridium an important alloying agent. Certain long-life aircraft engine parts are made of an iridium alloy and an iridium-titanium alloy is used for deep-water pipes because of its corrosion resistance.[10] Iridium is also used as a hardening agent in platinum alloys. The Vickers hardness of pure platinum is 56 HV while platinum with 50% of iridium can reach over 500 HV.
Iridium has been used in the radioisotope thermoelectric generators of unmanned spacecraft such as the Voyager, Viking, Pioneer, Cassini, Galileo, and New Horizons. Iridium was chosen to encapsulate the plutonium-238 fuel in the generator because it can withstand the operating temperatures of up to 2000 °C and for its great strength.[

Iridium is considered a rare element on Earth's crust, with abundance estimated at around 0.001 ppm. It is more commonly found in meteorites than in the Earth's crust, and its rarity contributes to its high value and uses in various applications, such as in electronics and catalysis.
Iridium is a metal element. Atomic number of it is 77.
Lead has a higher atomic number than iridium, which means a lead atom is heavier than an iridium atom. however iridium is denser, therefore if you had a block of iridium and a block of lead,the iridium block would be heavier
Iridium is a metal that is not safe to taste due to its toxicity. It has no discernible taste, as it is not meant to be consumed.
Iridium has no uses at home.
toner, tips of pens, etc.
It uses 66 small satellites in low earth orbit

An iridium phone is one that is linked to other phones by a iridium satellite. There are also iridium pagers and other items. You can find them on sale on Amazon or Ebay.
You can find the iridium phone on the iridium satellite phone communications website. You can also find iridium phones at your local satellite phone provider.
Iridium is obtained as a by-product in the nickel or copper production.
Iridium Communications was created in 2001.
