Ruthenium powder is composed of finely divided particles of ruthenium, a rare transition metal that belongs to the platinum group. It is known for its hardness, excellent chemical stability, and resistance to corrosion. Ruthenium’s unique properties make it valuable in a variety of high-tech industries, particularly in electronics, catalysis, and electroplating applications.

Key Applications:

• Electronics Industry: Ruthenium is widely used in the manufacturing of electrical contacts and resistors due to its high conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is often employed as a thin-film material in chip resistors, and in the hard disk drive industry, ruthenium layers are used as barriers in data storage devices.
• Catalysis: Ruthenium serves as an efficient catalyst in various chemical reactions, especially in the hydrogenation of organic compounds, ammonia production, and in fuel cells. It is commonly used in heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic processes in the chemical industry.
• Electroplating: Ruthenium is employed as a plating material due to its ability to produce hard, wear-resistant, and chemically inert coatings. It is used to plate jewelry, electrical components, and in protective coatings for mirrors and other reflective surfaces.
• Alloys: Ruthenium is added to other platinum-group metals and titanium alloys to improve hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance. Small amounts of ruthenium significantly enhance the durability of these alloys, making them suitable for extreme environments.
• Chemical Sensors: Ruthenium oxides are used in sensor technology, including chemical and gas sensors. Ruthenium-based compounds are known for their sensitivity and selectivity in detecting various gases and chemicals.

Features:

• High Chemical Stability: Ruthenium is resistant to most acids and does not corrode or tarnish easily, even in aggressive environments.
• Excellent Conductivity: With high electrical conductivity, ruthenium is widely used in electronic components like resistors and electrical contacts.
• Catalytic Activity: Ruthenium is an efficient catalyst in a range of chemical reactions, from hydrogenation to ammonia synthesis, and is particularly useful in fuel cells and renewable energy applications.
• Wear Resistance: Ruthenium coatings are exceptionally hard and wear-resistant, which increases the lifespan of coated surfaces in demanding applications.
• Improved Alloy Performance: When alloyed with other metals, ruthenium enhances hardness, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.
