ABSTRACT
The development of dispersion-strengthened platinum and platinum alloys has been a long-term project under the sponsorship of the Johnson Matthey Public Limited Company. This work was undertaken in response to the needs of the glass industry and other users who require strong, high-temperature materials which are oxidation, corrosion, and erosion resistant, and these efforts have resulted in the development of several zirconium oxide dispersion-strengthened platinum-base alloy systems. Their properties and applications have been examined in a series of papers, and, with the kind permission of Mr. Ian E. Cottington, executive editor the Platinum Metals Review, slightly condensed versions of three papers listed below are presented in this section:
1. "Dispersion Strengthened Platinum" by G. L. Selman, J. Day, and A. A. Bourne, Platinum Metals Rev. (1974), 18: 46-57.
