Precision Iridium Wire for Thermocouples and Temperature Sensors

Physical properties:
Electrical resistivity coefficient of iridium wire: 6.03×10^-22 mm^2/m
Density: 22.42 g/cm³
Melting point: 2410±40℃
Boiling point: 4130℃
Tensile strength: 1493 MPa, elongation 10%–20%. Production of 0.15mm diameter wire through powder metallurgy and melting-pressing process. Iridium wire is used for high-temperature oxidation-resistant thermocouple materials and filament materials. Ir-W thermocouple E2200℃ = 44.19mV. The relationship between thermoelectric potential and temperature is nearly linear between 1000–2000℃, but it can only be used in neutral atmospheres or vacuum conditions.
