Talk:Iridium (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I recently heard that the rounded tip of a fountain pen nib is also called iridium

[edit]

Because iridium used to be used for that purpose, but has since been replaced by other materials, but the name has stuck like how bullets are still referred to as "lead". Has anyone else heard of this usage?
