Alloy information - Paliney 7

A superior alloy for demanding, low energy electrical contacts. Similar to Paliney 6, Paliney 7 is a Palladium, silver age-hardenable alloy that in addition contains 10% gold and 10% platinum. This alloy, with over 50 years of reliable service, is ideally suited for those extraordinarily demanding applications in which extremely long life and stable contact resistance (low noise) are critical. Paliney 7 features include high resistance to corrosion and tarnish while providing the mechanical properties of Beryllium Copper. Applications include, but are not limited to, guidance systems for military hardware, satellite communications, high-speed slip rings, and drug-delivery systems.

Paliney 7 meets ASTM Standard B540 for electrical contact alloys.
