Abstract
A gold-free platinum material that is dispersion-strengthened by small, finely dispersed particles of base metal oxide. The base metal is either 0.01-0.5 wt. % Sc or a mixture/ alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting of Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt. %.
Claims29
A gold-free platinum material comprising small, finely dispersed particles of base metal oxide that dispersion-strengthen the material, the base metal being one of Sc in an amount of 0.01-0.5 wt. % and a mixture/alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt. %.
A process for producing a gold-free platinum material that is dispersion-strengthened by small, finely dispersed particles of base metal oxide, comprising the steps of:
- melting a platinum/base metal alloy;
- casting the alloy;
- and oxidizing the alloy by a heat treatment, a base metal of the alloy being one of Sc in an amount of 0.01-0.5 wt. % and a mixture/alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting of Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt. %.
A dispersion-strengthened platinum material for equipment used in the glass industry, comprising small, finely dispersed particles of the material, base metal oxide that dispersion-strengthen the base metal being one of Sc in an amount of 0.01-0.5 wt. % and a mixture/alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt.%.
A dispersion-strengthened platinum material for equipment to be used in a laboratory, comprising small, finely dispersed particles of base metal oxide that dispersion-strengthen the material, the base metal being one of Sc in an amount of 0.01-0.5 wt. % and a mixture/alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt. %.
Use of a dispersion-strengthened platinum material comprising small, finely dispersed particles of base metal oxide that dispersion-strengthen the material, the base metal being one of Sc in an amount of 0.01-0.5 wt.% and a mixture/alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt. %, for production of cladding.
A welding filler metal comprising a gold-free platinum material, which contains a base metal and can be at least partially oxidized to form a dispersion-strengthened platinum material having small, finely dispersed particles of base metal oxide that dispersion-strengthen the material, the base metal being one of Sc in an amount of 0.01-0.5 wt. % and a mixture/alloy of Sc and at least one metal from the group consisting Zr, Y, and Ce with a total base metal content of 0.05-0.5 wt. %.
