About Ruthenium Chunk

American Elements specializes in producing high purity Ruthenium Chunks using crystallization, solid state and other ultra high purification processes such as sublimation. Standard Chunk pieces are amorphous uniform pieces ranging in size from 5-15 mm. American Elements also casts any of the rare earth metals and most other advanced materials into granules, rod, bar or plate form We also produce Ruthenium as rod, pellets, powder, pieces, disc, ingot, wire, and in compound forms, such as oxide.
