Significance and Use of Precious Metals in the Automotive Industry
Further processing products and semi-finished goods containing precious metals are particularly important in the automotive sector, as they are used in many safety-critical and function-critical components. Precious metals such as platinum, palladium, or rhodium are used, for example, in catalytic converters for exhaust gas purification, while gold and silver are frequently utilized for electrical contacts and connectors.
These materials are often supplied as coated components, alloys, or metal-containing intermediate products and subsequently further processed in complex manufacturing processes. Due to their high conductivity and corrosion resistance, they contribute to the reliability of modern vehicle systems, particularly in sensor technology and vehicle electronics.
