Abstract

Parts having superior high temperature hot creep strength over extended time of as much as 3-9 months or more comprised of one or more precious metals of the platinum family and optionally other alloying metals with a common characteristic of a high rhodium content. The parts are particularly useful at high temperatures in contact with molten glass or molten ceramics such as fiberizing bushings. Different portions of the parts can also be made up of different metals and/or different alloys. Systems and methods are also disclosed for making these parts including hot forging, hot rolling, hot pressing, casting, continuous strip/sheet casting, casting multiple layers, selective laser melting and selective laser sintering.
