View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.RHODIUM is one of six metals comprising the platinum group elements. Relative to platinum, RHODIUM is about 58% as dense. It is harder, much less workable and more resistant to corrosion than platinum.
