First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tip, comprising: an alloy of platinum and an alloying element chosen from gold, palladium, ruthenium, osmium, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, silver, chromium, manganese, titanium, niobium, scandium, vanadium, yttrium, zirconium, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, technetium, cadmium, hafnium, rhenium, less than 5 wt. % of iridium, less than 5 wt. % of rhodium, greater than 20 wt. % iridium, greater than 20 wt. % rhodium, and a combination thereof, relative to the total weight of the alloy; and wherein the tip has an opening at an apex. 2. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the platinum is platinum 194, platinum 195, platinum 198, or a combination thereof. 3. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is platinum and less than 5 wt. % of iridium. 4. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is from about 95.1 wt. % to about 99.95 wt. % of platinum and from about 0.05 wt. % to about 4.99 wt. % iridium, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 5. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is from about 96 wt. % to about 98 wt. % platinum and from about 2 wt. % to about 4 wt. % iridium, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 6. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is about 96 wt. % platinum and about 4 wt. % iridium, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 7. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is platinum and gold. 8. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is from about 80 wt. % to about 97 wt. % of platinum and from about 3 wt. % to about 20 wt. % gold, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 9. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is about 95 wt. % platinum and about 5 wt. % gold, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 10. The tip of claim 1 , wherein when the alloy is platinum and ruthenium, the ruthenium is ruthenium 99, ruthenium 101, or a combination thereof. 11. The tip of claim 1 , wherein when the alloy is platinum and tungsten, the tungsten is tungsten 182, tungsten 183, or a combination thereof. 12. The tip of claim 1 , wherein when the alloy is platinum and nickel, the nickel is nickel 60, nickel 61, nickel 62, or a combination thereof. 13. The tip of claim 1 , wherein when the alloy is platinum and vanadium, the vanadium is vanadium 51. 14. The tip of claim 1 , wherein when the alloy is platinum and molybdenum, the molybdenum is molybdenum 95, molybdenum 97, or a combination thereof. 15. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is from about 95 wt. % to about 99.9999 wt. % of platinum and from about 0.00001 wt. % to about 5 wt. % rhodium, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 16. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the alloy is about 95 wt. % platinum and about 5 wt. % rhodium, relative to the total weight of the alloy. 17. An interface cone, comprising: a base; and a tip according to claim 1 . 18. The interface cone of claim 17 , wherein the base is made of at least one material chosen from copper or nickel. 19. The interface cone of claim 17 , wherein the base is copper. 20. The interface cone of claim 17 , wherein the base is nickel.
