The database, which is jointly sponsored by Anglo Platinum, Johnson Matthey and the International Platinum Associaton (IPA), is free of charge and can be accessed via a link on the IPA's website.
State-of-the-art software allows users to identify materials that meet specified physical, mechanical and chemical properties.
Material properties are displayed in a user-friendly view, giving a comprehensive picture of a material and its capabilities.
The data include more than 60 phase diagrams of PGM alloy systems and more than 600 separate pages of related data.
New data are published on a regular basis and a significant effort will be made to expand and update the PGM Database wherever possible.
Users are invited to contribute new data for addition to the database, ensuring that it develops into the authoritative and comprehensive data source on platinum group metals.
