Platinum is a dense, precious, ductile, extremely unreactive, silvery-white transition metal primarily used in automotive exhaust systems and jewelry. It is extensively used as a catalyst in automobile catalytic converter systems alongside other platinum group metals. Important vehicle components, exhaust systems consist of an exhaust manifold, a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor, a muffler, and exhaust pipelines. Together, these components reduce commotion, convert harmful pollutants that accumulate in the engine's combustion chamber into less hazardous gases, and provide an outlet for those gases.
