Iridium ,a precious metal,has an appearance similar to platinum in that it is white,but with a slightly yellowish tint.It is the most corrosion-resistant metal known,is very hard,brittle,and has a low ductility,making it difficult to machine,form,or work.Its principle use is as a hardening agent for platinum,though it is frequently found in crucibles and other high temperature devices.
