Iridium Sleeves: AMERICAN ELEMENTS Supplier & Tech Info

American Elements specializes in supplying seamless Iridium Sleeves and Sheaths with a variety of dimensions including round, rectangular, square, and oval in numerous standard diameters from 0.02 to 6.0 inches and wall thicknesses from 0.003 to 0.500 inches.Sleeves and sheaths can be further processed to produce rings, washers, sleeves and sheaths. Custom Threaded Metallic Sleeve

configurations are also available. Sleeves can be threaded to customer specified dimensions. Materials include most metals including the rare earth metals and other advanced materials. Sleeves and sheaths can also be produced from custom materials and alloys for commercial and research applications and for new proprietary technologies. Other available shapes include bar or plate form, as well as custom machined shapes and through other processes such as nanoparticles (See also application discussion at Nanotechnology Information and at Quantum Dots) and in the form of solutions and organometallics.American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia)and follows applicable ASTM testing standards.Typical and custom packaging is available. See safety data and research below and pricing/lead time above. We also produce Iridium as rod, pellets, powder, pieces, granules, ingot, wire, and in compound forms, such as oxide. Other shapes are available by request.

Iridium(Ir) atomic and molecular weight, atomic number and elemental symbol Iridium is a Block D, Group 9, Period 6 element. The number of electrons in each of Iridium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 32, 15, 2 and its electronic configuration is [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d⁷ 6s². In its elemental form iridium's CAS number is 7439-88-5. The iridium atom has a radius of 135.7.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 200.pm. Iridium is only slightly toxic. Iridium is a member of the platinum group of metals. It is the most corrosion resistant metal known. It will not react with any acid and can only be attacked by certain molten salts, such as molten sodium chloride. It is alloyed with platinum to produce highly corrosive resistant electrical contacts for spark plugs. Iridium is available as metal and compounds with purities from 99% to 99.999% (ACS grade to ultra-high purity); metals in the form of foil, sputtering target, and rod, and compounds as submicron and nanopowder. Iridium information, including Technical Data, Safety Data and its high purity properties, research, applications and other useful facts are discussed here. Iridium was first discovered by Smithson Tennant in 1804. See Iridium research below.

PACKAGING SPECIFICATIONS FOR BULK & RESEARCH QUANTITIES

Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Shipping documentation includes a Certificate of Analysis and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Bullion and bar forms are best if purchasing solely for physical possession and risk exposure.
