High-Temperature Pt-Ir Springs for Industrial Applications

High-temperature platinum-iridium (Pt-Ir) springs are engineered to withstand extreme heat, mechanical stress, and corrosive environments. These springs typically consist of 90–95% platinum and 5–10% iridium, though DLX customizes alloy ratios to optimize performance for specific industrial conditions.

Platinum provides excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, while iridium contributes hardness, mechanical strength, and high-temperature stability. Together, they ensure that Pt-Ir springs maintain dimensional stability, elasticity, and mechanical integrity under prolonged exposure to high temperatures and cyclic loads.

DLX employs vacuum induction melting, precision wire drawing, and controlled annealing to achieve uniform microstructure, minimal residual stress, and superior fatigue resistance. These processes produce springs capable of performing reliably in demanding industrial environments.
