| Applications and main features of various platinum materials applied in glass industry were reviewed. Based on the high stability of chemical and mechanical properties as well as the high anti-wettability of molten glass on platinum at high temperature, various platinum alloys, platinum composites and platinum coatings have become the optimum high temperature structural materials for glass manufacture. The characteristics and specific applications of various platinum materials, including pure platinum, platinum solid solution alloys (Pt-Rh, Pt-Rh-Au, Pt-Pd-Rh), dispersion strengthened platinum and platinum alloys as well other platinum composites, and platinum coatings, were evaluated and discussed, respectively. |
