Umicore 95% Pt. /5% Platinum Casting Grain (Per Ounce)

The Umicore 95% Pt. /5% platinum casting grain is among the most popular platinum alloys among jewelry manufacturers in the U.S. Both alloys contain Ruthenium which is a grain refiner. It gives the alloys a definite structure. This alloyed platinum has an annealed hardness of 120 HV (Vickers hardness) and a working hardness of about 220HV. The platinum alloy also has high tensile strength.

The three properties of Pt/Ru mentioned above make it suitable for machine casting and polishing. This makes it an excellent alloy in the manufacture of rings. You’ll get a bright-colored platinum jewel or item from the .950 platinum casting grains and pieces.
