PtW is a platinum-tungsten alloy combining the corrosion resistance and chemical inertness of platinum with the hardness and refractory properties of tungsten. This material is used in specialized high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments where platinum alone would be too soft or expensive, or where tungsten's brittleness must be mitigated—such as in electrodes, contacts, and crucibles for demanding industrial and laboratory processes.
