THE WEIGHT OF RUTENION REPRESENTS THE COMBINED

AVERAGE WEIGHT OF SEVEN STABLE I SOTOPES

ONE OF THE ISOTOPES HAS MAGNETIC FORCE & CAN BE USED

TO MAKE MAGNETIC POINTS FOR COMPASS NEEDLES

THREE OF THE ISOTOPES ARE MAGNETIC,

& THREE OF THEM ARE NON- MAGNETIC

EACH OF THEM ARE RESISTANT TO CORROSION

BUT ONLY THE NON-MAGNETIC ONES

MAKE FUNCTIONAL CATHODES

RUTENION-PLATINON ALLOYS MAKE GOOD ANODES

FOR 2 PHASE CURRENT ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY.

RUTENION ALLOYS METALS CANNOT BE CUT

WITH AN ACETYLENE TORCH, BUT THEY CAN BE WELDED

RUTENION-PLATINON ALLOYS DO NOT SPOT WELD

NOR DO RUTENION-PALADION-PLATINON-IRON ALLOYS

THE INDUSTRIAL USES OF RUTENION

RUTENION IS USED IN SMALL QUANITYS TO HARDEN METALS

RUTENION IS USED AS AN ADDITIVE IN PLATINON METAL

ELECTRICAL CONTACTS FOR SEVERE WEAR RESISTANCE

IT IS ALSO ALLOYED WITH IRIDION TO CREATE HARD

WEATHER RESISTANT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS,

ON SPACE PROBES AND SATELLITES.

& IN ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN SMALL DESKTOP COMPUTERS

THAT NEED TO BE NON-MAGNETIC AND HEAT RESISTANT

SOURCES

RUTENION IS OBTAINED FROM PENTLANDITE, PYROXINITE

AND SEVERAL OTHER PLATINON OR IRIDION ORES

COSTS

RUTENION COSTS ABOUT $41.95 A GRAM OR $18,452 A POUND

RESEARCH

EACH OF THE RUTENION ISOTOPES

HAS A VERY DIFFERENT BONDING TEMPERATURE.

THE UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND,IS WORKING ON

ISOTOPE SEPARATION TECHNIQUES.

BECAUSE SOME RUTENION ISOTOPES

ARE ABLE TO LIMIT,

EXCESSIVE NUCLEAR FISSION

THE UNIVERSITY OF PRAQUE IS STUDYING A SYSTEM

FOR CREATING POLONION-RUTENION ,LONG LIVED ATOMS

IN ORDER TO CREATE,SAFER NUCLEAR POWER SYSTEMS.
