AI overview
Iridium is a rare, extremely hard and dense silvery-white metal that belongs to the platinum group of elements and is highly resistant to corrosion even at very high temperatures. It matters because these exceptional properties—its hardness, density, and resistance to wear and chemical damage—make it valuable for specialized industrial and scientific applications where durability under extreme conditions is essential.
