Iridium metal is employed when high corrosion resistance at high temperatures is needed, as in high-end spark plugs, crucibles for recrystallization of semiconductors at high temperatures, and electrodes for the production of chlorine in thechloralkali process. Iridium radioisotopes are used in some radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

How do you change a lightning arrester to iridium?

To change a lightning arrester to iridium, you would need to replace the existing lightning arrester component with one made from iridium material. This may involve removing the old lightning arrester and installing a new one that is designed with iridium. It is crucial to ensure that the replacement arrester is compatible with the existing system and meets the necessary safety standards. Consulting a professional electrician or engineer for guidance is recommended.


Does the copper kept buried for more than 100 years turn to copper iridium?

No, how can it? One type of atom doesn't spontaneously convert to another type of atom, except under conditions of great heat (as in the interior of stars), or in cases of radioactive decay. Iridium is a different element - a different type of atom. If no iridium was present at the start, none will appear.
