Technical Description of Ruthenium metal
Ruthenium is a hard and brittle light gray multivalent rare metal element, which is a member of platinum group metals. The transition metal series, ruthenium powder is a common noble metal powder, now mainly used in magnetic recording targets, catalysts, and cemented carbide industry.
Application of Ruthenium metal
1. Ruthenium is used to make low-cost solar cells and electronics.
2. Ruthenium resistance paste, ruthenium based thick film resistance paste.
3. Ruthenium is used as a multifunctional catalyst in fischer-tropsch synthesis and olefin redecomposition.
4. Most are used for chip resistors and electrical contacts in the electronics industry.
5. Ruthenium is also used as a catalyst for the production of ammonia and acetic acid.
6. Ruthenium compounds can be used in solar cells to convert light energy into electricity.
7. Ruthenium is one of the most effective hardeners of platinum and palladium, and forms alloys with these metals to form electrical contacts with severe wear resistance.
