TRUPD .950 PALLADIUM WHITE
The Look of Platinum at the cost of Gold

ALLOY NAME	TruPd .950 "Tru-Palladium White Gold"
ALLOY COLOR	White no Rhodium Plating
ALLOY DESCRIPTION	General purpose
PRODUCT FORMS AVAILABLE	Casting grain, flat sheet, round wire, sizing wire, shape wire, pattern wire, bezel strip & wire, jewelry findings.
RECOMMENDED USES	.950 palladium is suitable for all general fabrication techniques. It can withstand high levels of deformation between anneals. This alloy does not require rhodium plating.
PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS
Working:	TruPd can be fabricated like any other jewelry alloy. It is malleable and so it can be easily fabricated and shaped. It can withstand high levels of deformation between anneals and is an excellent choice for delicate work, and can be engraved.
Annealing:	If using a furnace, anneal between 1650 - 1832°F (900 - 1000°C) for 15 – 30 minutes depending on size. If using as torch, heat to an orange color. This alloy can be quenched after annealing.
Investment Casting:	Melting range: 2462 - 2516°F (1350 - 1380°C). Casting temperature range: 2820 - 2910°F (1550 - 1600°C). Flask temperature range: 1250 - 1350°F (675 - 730°C). Investment type: Platinum (phosphate bonded). Cover gas: Argon.
TruPd must be cast using similar techniques to platinum alloys due to the high melting range of the alloy. Sprues and gates must be typical of those used for platinum castings. TruPd must be melted under an argon protective atmosphere to prevent gas absorption. It is recommended that induction casting equipment with a sealed melt chamber be used. Ideally the melt chamber should be vacuumed after loading the charge, and then back-filled with argon. If an open crucible is used; care must be taken to ensure complete cover with argon. While it may be possible to successfully cast Tru-Pd using a torch, results cannot be guaranteed. Temperatures may differ from these recommendations depending on processing considerations. After casting, the flask may be quenched and de-vested once the button has returned to black heat. Final de-vesting may use techniques standard to platinum alloy processing.
Soldering:	Standard soldering techniques may be used with 950 palladium.
RECOMMENDED SOLDERS	G&S palladium hard, medium and easy solder.
MATERIAL PROPERTIES	Melting range: 2462 - 2516°F (1350 - 1380°C). Specific gravity: 11.84 Density: 6.24 troy ozs/in³ Hardness: Cast – 115 HV Annealed – 105HV Hard – 180HV
