Materials for medical use
Gold and platinum are widely used in medical applications because of excellent corrosion-resistance and radiopaque property.
Au, Pt, and Pt alloys (pipes, wires, and other materials)
With excellent corrosion resistance and radiopaque property, Pt alloys exhibit high mechanical strength.
Physical properties of Pt, Au, and Pt alloys (reference)
