	Noble metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Noble metals are metals that are resistant to corrosion or oxidation, unlike most base metals.
		Alchemists were concerned with the transmutation of base metals into gold (a noble metal) for economic gain, or as a metaphor for more esoteric processes.
		In this sense of the word, graphite is more noble than silver (even though it is alchemically more base) and the relative nobility of many materials is highly dependent upon context, as for aluminium and stainless steel in conditions of varying pH.

		It has now been discovered that composite wire having a non-noble metal core of consistent diameter with a noble metal layer of uniform thickness firmly adhered thereto may be economically produced by forming the noble metal layer on a non-noble metal core before the wire is drawn.
		The present invention provides a method by which a non-noble metal wire may first be coated with a noble metal and then drawn to micron dimensions rather than attempting to form a layer of noble metal on a micron-dimensioned wire.
		(Noble metals are defined as metals that do not oxidize by heating in air, and, in addition to gold, include platinum, palladium, silver and the like.) R represents the radius of the wire 10 formed by the core 12 and annulus 14, while r represents the radius of core 12.

	Capacitor with noble metal electrodes - Patent 4075681
		Performance normally requires the use of the noble metals, due to their relative inertness during firing on dielectric substrates to produce electrically continuous conductors, since base metals often are oxidized in air at elevated temperatures and/or react with the dielectric substrate during firing.
		Generally, the metallizations are such that at least 90% of the noble metal and of the additive oxide particles are no greater than 5 microns in diameter (that is, their largest dimension for irregularly shaped particles).
		The ratio of inert liquid vehicle to solids in the metallizing compositions of this invention may vary considerably and depends upon the manner in which the dispersion of metallizing composition in vehicle is to be applied and the kind of vehicle used.

	Caring for Your Metal Objects
		Metals are produced from ores that are found in nature and are processed, or smelted, from a stable mineral state to a less stable metallic state.
		Metals are also often layered together as in the case of silver plated on a base metal substrate or tin plated on an iron substrate.
		Metal objects should always be handled with clean, white, cotton gloves, or nitrile or vinyl gloves with a pair of cotton gloves over them to further prevent sweat from passing through to the object.

		Metal corrosion is a chemical reaction between a metal surface and its environment.
		Where a less noble (base, anodic) metal has to be in contact with a noble metal make sure the less noble metal has at least one hundred times more surface area than the noble metal.
		Another technique is to use corrosion inhibitors that combine with the corroding metal (anode) or the protected metal (cathode) to form a barrier layer that reduces the flow of ions and electrons across it to very low values and virtually stops the corrosion.

	CT 3/99: Designing sulfur-resistant, noble-metal hydrotreating catalysts
		Although noble metals are hydrogenation active at low temperatures, their use as catalysts will become attractive only if their sulfur resistance can be greatly enhanced.
		Catalysts A and B in Figure 1 are metal sulfide catalysts such as sulfided Ni-Mo. Catalyst C is noble metal loaded on an acidic support.
		The higher activity of the former may be attributable partly to the better metal dispersion on zeolites and partly to the electron deficiency of metals supported on acidic materials.
