> The Question:
> This element is a metal that is almost impossible to machine as it is
> neither ductile or mallable. It is the most corrosive-resistant metal
> known. It is used to make instrumentation that has to withstand high
> temperatures without breaking down.  One of its isotopes is used for Xray

> The Answer:
> The element in Iridium (Ir)! Iridium becomes more brittle upon cooling so
> it is either worked in a hot state or using powder metallurgy techniques. A
> 60nm layer of Ir is used on the mirrors of the Chandra X-ray Observatory as
> it provided the best x-ray reflecting characteristics. Iridium has
> extensive use as the containment shell for the plutonium fuel source for
> spacecraft radioisotope thermoelectric generators used on  Voyager,
> Cassini, Galileo, etc. Iridium is found in asteroids and meteors which has
> allowed scientists a window into Earth/asteroid impacts as a layer of Ir
