It is a question concerning the IRIDIUM POWER that is often.
 |
Why can iridium now be used in IRIDIUM POWER electrodes? |
|
| DENSO is now able to use iridium because of our technology in the field of precious metals, for which we are a world-leader and also because of our advanced laser welding technology. |
As explained in the answer to  , iridium is an extremely hard material.
In the past, sintering material was generally cut and this meant high costs and restrictions on processing form and dimensions.
Therefore, it could not be used as a material in spark plugs. However, our new precious metals technology has meant that we can now process iridium by drawing it in its melted form.
This enables iridium to be processed in all dimensions and forms. Therefore, DENSO has moved quickly to use it as a material for use in spark plug electrodes. |
