Osmium-188 Information

Osmium is a hard blue-white metallic transition element. It is found with platinum and used in some alloys with platinum and iridium. Osmium has 3 isotopes. 7 of them are natural ones, 6 of which is stable.

Osmium is used to tip gold pen points, instrument pivots, to make electric light filaments. It is used for high temperature alloys and pressure bearings. Osmium is very hard and resists corrosion better than any other.
