<p>A metal electroding powder for use in making monolithic ceramic capacitors comprises a silver-palladium alloy powder having a composition, by weight, of 90Ag/10Pd and having palladium oxide on the surface of the alloy particles. The powder is made by heating a silver-palladium alloy powder containing less than 90% by weight of silver, in air at about 500 DEG C so as to oxidise a portion of the palladium to form palladium oxide at the surface of the alloy particles and to increase the silver content of the alloy until it has a composition, by weight, of 90Ag/10Pd.</p> |
