    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 02.05, 2017 Includes requirements for electrodeposited palladium coatings containing at least 99.7 mass % of palladium metal.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1This specification covers requirements for electrodeposited palladium coatings containing at least 99.7 mass % of palladium metal. Composite coatings consisting of palladium with a thin gold overplate for applications involving electrical contacts are also covered.

    1.2Properties—Palladium is the lightest and least noble of the platinum group metals. It has a specific gravity of 12.0, which is substantially less than gold (19.3) and platinum (21.5). This yields a greater volume or thickness of coating and, consequently, some saving of metal weight accompanied by a small sacrifice in corrosion resistance and reflectivity. The following table compares the hardness range of electrodeposited palladium with other electrodeposited noble metals and alloys (1,2).2

    Approximate Hardness (HK25)

    Gold

    50–250

    Palladium

    75–600

    Platinum

    150–550

    Palladium-Nickel

    300–650

    Rhodium

    750–1100

    Ruthenium

    600–1300
