Global Rhodium Alloys Market: Introduction
The major application of rhodium alloys is as a structuring material for the manufacture of glass. Therefore, the components such as thermocouples, forehearth and furnace uses these alloys to protect from the damage by molten glass. Rhodium alloys also find major application in automobile catalytic convertors. Rhodium alloys have high melting point and good corrosion resistance therefore are also being used to make laboratory equipment such as high temperature sensors. Platinum rhodium alloy is the most common type of alloy used for the ceramic protection in glass manufacturing. Because of the two metal alloy’s high temperature, structural strength and corrosion resistance is improved which protects from the degradation through molten glass. Rhodium alloys also plays an important role in the automotive industry. Rhodium alloys are used in the autocatalysis and are effective at converting harmful engine emissions such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide into less harmful gases.
