Osmium metal particles are a material with unique properties and a wide range of applications.
Atomic number: 76.
Symbol: Os.
Colour and Lustre: Osmium particles usually appear bluish grey or silvery grey with a metallic luster.
Particle morphology: Osmium particles can be in the form of irregular powder, or can be made into spherical, flaky or other regular shapes by specific processing techniques.
Density: Osmium is the densest known metal on earth, with a density of approximately 22.59 g/cm³.
Hardness: Osmium has a high hardness, among the highest of the platinum group of metals.
Melting point: 3033°C.
Boiling point: 5012°C.
Coefficient of thermal expansion: The coefficient of thermal expansion of osmium is relatively small, about 5.1×10-⁶/K.
Organic synthesis catalysis: Osmium metal particles play an important role as efficient catalysts in organic synthesis reactions.
Industrial catalysis: In industrial production, osmium particles can be used to catalyse a number of important chemical reactions, such as petrochemical hydrogenation and refining reactions and ammonia synthesis reactions.
Manufacture of electronic components: Osmium metal particles have good electrical conductivity and thermal stability, can be used in the manufacture of electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors and so on.
Electrical materials: In some special electrical materials, such as the heating element of high-temperature furnaces and the electrode material of thermoelectric generators, the high melting point and thermoelectric properties of osmium particles make them an ideal material choice.
Wear-resistant materials: The high hardness and good wear resistance of osmium particles make them suitable for the manufacture of wear-resistant materials. Adding osmium particles to a metal or ceramic matrix can improve the wear resistance of the matrix material, which is used to make cutting tools, bearings, moulds and other mechanical parts.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
