Abstract
Platinum-based alloys find many applications in both high and low temperature industrial environments and are particularly suited to operation under corrosive aqueous and high temperature gaseous conditions. A wide variety of alloys exist which have been specifically designed for these purposes and in many cases they contain one or more non-platinum group metal. Although this situation is quite acceptable, there remains a fundamental need for systematic investigation of the basic properties and constitution of platinum group metal alloys. Such a foundation in materials technology generally leads to an understanding of materials behaviour and provides guidance in designing new alloys with improved properties for existing and future applications. This review features the work which has been done on ternary and higher order platinum group metal alloys and provides access to important data.
