7013 Series

(44% Ag / 56% Pd Powder)

Cermet's 44%Ag/56%Pd AgPd 7013 powder is a highly alloyed, monosized spherical powder, designed for use as an inner electrode for Ultra Low Fire (ULF) dielectrics. This powder demonstrates good dispersion characteristics and is ideal in applications where smooth, thin, and low laydown conductive metallizations are required.

Cermet 44%/56%Pd metal powders are also available with a Pd rich exterior (FG Series), Ag core/Pd shell, and/or coated with a variety of organic and inorganic coatings to affect shrinkage, oxidation, and wetting characteristics.

These Powders are also available "Pre-Dispersed" (D series) for situations where ease of dispersion and dispersion optimization are critical.
