Im well aware of the fact that Iridium itself is an element not an alloy, but I was under the impression the NGK Iridiums were not pure elemental iridium in the electrode. My understanding of Iridium is that it is very dense, and hard but its also extremely brittle, therefore NGK uses Iridium in an alloy to reduce brittleness and make the electrodes easier to manufacture.
but I guess when I wrote that sentence, I should have just said "metal" instead of "alloy", but I didnt know the resident fact checker would call me out on it.
