Palladium

Wire, Rod, Ribbon, Pellets Slugs and Sputter Targets

Purity Range: 99% to 99.99%

Palladium is a steel-white, metallic element. Palladium is remarkably malleable, ductile, and corrosion resistant. It does not tarnish in air. It is alloyed for use in electric contacts, jewelry, non-magnetic watch parts, and surgical instruments. Like platinum, its most prominent use in industry is as a catalytic converter. Palladium is evaporated under vacuum for the manufacture of semiconductors, sensors, and data storage. The jewelry industry uses palladium to decolorize gold, to produce 'white gold' type of jeweler
