Q. Hello good afternoon, does any one of you know in which process of the elaboration of the iPhone they use ruthenium?

A. Hi Manuel. Ruthenium is a conductive, tarnish resistant, precious metal. So it can be used, for example, for decorative black items; it is might also be used in electrical contacts. Please introduce yourself and what you do, how you know that Apple uses ruthenium, and what inspires your question. There is too much lost motion in abstract questions, and we might even be asking readers to reveal a trade secret :-)

Luck & Regards,
