Improvements in manufacture of iridium alloy materials

“…The effect of the changes in the manufacturing process on the properties of the material, with respect to both subsequent fabrication and service, has been extensively evaluated. Forrest et al (1986) found that there are slight differences in the forming behavior of blanks produced by the two processes. These differences were predicted to require only minor changes in forming tool dimensions.…”
