ALLOY BASED ON PALLADIUM Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: alloys based on palladium, which are good for manufacture of jewelry and stomatology articles. SUBSTANCE: alloy based on palladium is proposed which contains cobalt, copper, gallium, indium, iridium; at the same time this alloy additionally contains cadmium and/or bismuth. Relationship among components is as follows (fraction of total mass, %): palladium 60-94; cobalt 2- 15; copper 2-15; gallium 1-3; indium 0.5-5; iridium 0.01-1; cadmium and/or bismuth 0.1-10. Alloy has low melting temperature, that simplifies its processing by means of casting as well as allows high deformability to be achieved owing to reduction of hardness of initial cast alloy and reduction of its hardening during deformation. EFFECT: enhanced quality of material. 1 tbl
