Description
Palladium is a silvery white noble metal very similar to platinum. It has a melting point of 1,554°C, a density of 12.038 g/cm³ and a vapour pressure of 10-4 Torr at 1,192°C. It belongs to the platinum group of metals in the periodic table. It has the lowest melting point of the elements in this group and is the least dense. Palladium is remarkably malleable, ductile and corrosion resistant. Like platinum, its main industrial use is as a catalyst. It is also used in jewellery and surgical instruments. Palladium is vaporised under vacuum to make semiconductors, sensors and data storage devices.

* This is a recommendation based on our experience with these materials in our sputter guns. Rates are based on unbonded targets and are material specific. Bonded targets should be operated at lower power to avoid bond failure. Bonded targets should be operated at 20 watts/square inch or less depending on the material.
