Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2015 -- Osmium was discovered by Smithson Tennant in 1803. Osmium is a bluish-white transition metal that belongs to the transition group. Osmium belongs to the platinum group which is usually found as trace elements in alloys and in most of the ores. Osmium is the densest occurring element in the nature. Osmium has a blue-gray tint and is a highly stable element. Osmium is a hard metal that remains lustrous even at extremely high temperatures. Osmium has a low compressibility and has high bulk modulus. Powdered osmium when exposed to the air becomes highly toxic in nature. Osmium is highly volatile as well as water soluble in nature. Osmium powder has typical characteristic smell of that of the osmium tetroxide. However, osmium oxide is non-volatile, black and toxic in nature. There are several specifications provided regarding the use of osmium as it is extremely toxic and thus, has hazardous effect on human health. Osmium is available in a wide range of purity which usually differs depending on its applications. Elemental or metallic forms of osmium usually include rods, wire, granules and pellets. Different sources of osmium offer the metal in varying shapes. Osmium finds a wide range of applications in manufacturing instrument pivots, electrical contacts and fountain pen tips.
