Article Synopsis

In industrial applications, platinum is often used in the form of the nominally pure metal, since impurities and alloying elements may adversely affect both its working characteristics and its stability against corrosion, at both ambient and high temperatures. Low strength, typical of a metal of this purity, is accepted in industrial products despite being a significant disadvantage. To optimise the technical parameters for the thermal and mechanical processing of platinum, knowledge is required of its rheological characteristics, including deformation resistance.
