Wire  铂丝

Precious

metals like gold, platinum, and silver are excellent choices for specialty

wires.

They

offer advantageous electrical properties with little or no reaction to

chemicals. This wiring can be used in a wide variety of applications and

environments without fluctuation concerns.

Platinum

makes an especially valuable wiring material because of its consistent

performance in high temperatures, complex configurations, and challenging

environments. It resists corrosion and oxidation and withstands the majority of

acids. With excellent malleability and ductility, platinum is ideal for complex

or precise wire fabrications.

Medical

Applications of Platinum Wire

Manufacturers

incorporate platinum wires into a wide variety of medical devices and

equipment. Patients with medical implants, such as pacemakers, dental restorations,

and cochlear implants, benefit from the stability of platinum in chemically

active environments. For example, catheters have platinum guide wires and

markers that can be seen on X-rays or fluoroscopies to ensure the devices are

properly inserted.

Platinum

wire is also used in the manufacture of lab utensils, surgical tools, and

transfer tools that move samples of organic material onto sterile plates.

Platinum-based sterile swabs can safely move clinical samples of tissue without

presenting any risk of contamination or chemical reactions.

Aerospace

and Military Applications of Platinum Wire

Aerospace

and military manufacturers use platinum wiring for monitoring equipment,

thermocouples, and other instruments. Thermocouples are temperature sensors

that assess the reaction between platinum and a dissimilar metal like rhodium

to determine temperature variations. While some thermocouples use other metals,

Type B, Type R, and Type S thermocouples use platinum. These tools are

preferred for measuring temperatures in environments with high base

temperatures.

Along

with thermocouples, some common uses of platinum wire in aerospace and military

applications include:

· Aircraft engines

· Catalytic converters in gas-powered vehicles

· Heat exchangers

· Individual engine parts, such as blades, fuel manifolds, fuel

nozzles, stators, and vanes

· Infrared detectors

· Turbines

Electrical

Applications of Platinum Wire

Thermocouples

are popular tools in industrial and commercial applications, as well. Platinum

wires are also a highly valuable component in semiconductor manufacturing, as

platinum wire can be fabricated in ultra-fine varieties for increasingly small

semiconductors with complex design structures.

Manufacturers

use platinum wiring to grow crystal in ceramic capacitors and crucibles.

Developing energy technologies and power storage solutions rely on platinum

wiring for PEM fuel cells, catalysts, and more.

Some of

the most common electrical components that make use of platinum wiring include:

· Contact points

· Fiber optics

· LCD displays

· Resistance wires

Laptops

are a prime example of products that use platinum in multiple different

contexts.
