Use of Precious Metals in the automotive industry
Within the automotive industry, precious metals including platinum, palladium and rhodium have been used for several years in various applications. The drive systems for internal combustion engines rely on such precious metals, including platinum-iridum alloy wires for spark plugs, silver-platinum paste for injectors and gold paste for rear-window defoggers.
The most significant uses are Platinum and Palladium in catalytic converters, along with Silver and Gold in electronic circuit boards. While Silver-oxide batteries can be found in military vehicles.
