“…Tungsten–iridium- and tungsten–iridium–boron-based materials are commonly demanded in the industry. These materials can be used for fabricating engines, cutting tools, wear-resistant and antioxidant coatings, as well as electrocatalysts due to the outstanding properties of both metals, including high melting points (2447 °C for Ir and 3422 °C for W), high level of mechanical properties, high hardness, and good oxidation resistance [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. There are numerous examples where the synergistic effect of both metals significantly improved the properties of designed materials.…”
