摘要 |
The invention relates to a high-hardness palladium alloy for manufacturing semi-finished products to be used in goldsmith's art or jewels to be obtained by the lost wax casting method, which comprises, in the following concentrations, expressed in thousandths by weight (%) palladium from 948 to 990%; copper from 0.0 a 50%; indium from 0.0 to 50%; gallium from 1 to 48%; aluminium from 0.8 to 49.5%; ruthenium from 0.0 to 50%; rhenium from 0.0 to 50%; silicon from 0.1 to 1.2%; platinum from 0.0 to 40%; nickel from 0.0 to 50%; iridium from 0.0 to 40%. In the manufacturing process of the above alloy, the component elements of said alloy are placed in a crucible, respectively made of zirconia, boron nitride or other ceramic material, and are melted using the induction method and using a protective atmosphere, respectively of argon, nitrogen or other inert gas.
