Behold, mortal, the most expensive "ore" in the mod (you need to sacrifice a Gerald for this very ore).
Osmiridium (sometimes iridosmine) is a naturally occurring alloy between osmium (element #76) and iridium (element #77), thus the portmanteau. It isn't possible to acquire on Earth, but there are deposits deep within the Moon. It is possibly the densest material in all of NTM, somehow, possibly even exceeding dineutronium.
Production
You can obtain this from osmiridium-infused tektite. This ore requires a very strenuous refinement process to produce the purified osmiridium metal in ingot form.
Refining Process
- Osmiridium-infused tektite ore at the impact site has to be extracted.
- It then has to be shredded.
- The tektite powder it makes needs to be centrifuged.
- Paleogenite is the impure form. All other impurities are also to be removed from the mix.
- The small powders cannoy be processed further without combination into a larher pile.
- With 8 fluorite, 4 bismuth nuggets, 1,000 mB of hydrogen peroxide, dissolve the powders in a chemical plant.
- If done correctly, the result should be Osmiridic Solution. It will corrode through normal fluid tanks, it needs to be carried with Hazardous tanks.
- It needs to be processed in a SILEX, with a Gamma laser crystal.
- When processed, 1000mB of the solution will yield 1 pure osmiridium powder.
- The powder, when processed in a crystallizer/acidizer with schrabidic acid, crystallizes. (effectiveness upgrade highly recommended to give the possibility of duplication).
- The crystals are to be smelted in any furnace to produce 1 ingot per crystal.
Uses
Trivia
- In real life, the proportion of the two elements can vary greatly. It can also contain trace amounts of other platinum group metals.
- It is generally harder than the two constituent elements by themselves, though its other properties are usually shared or some combination of those two elements.
- It can be found in real life, usually in mines for other platinum group metals, but it is very rare.
- Osmiridium is highly corrosion resistant, since it can resist aqua regia, which can dissolve gold and platinum, other highly corrosion resistant metals.
- This likely relates to the 7th step of the aforementioned refinement process with the osmiridic solution.
