本规范涵盖了以线材、棒材、板材、带材、箔材、清管器、粉末、丸料和切屑的形式存在的金钯镍合金，以及合适粘合剂中粉末的粘性混合物（膏体）。这种填充金属通常用于连接耐腐蚀和耐热的钢和合金，这些钢和合金需要在高温下具有良好强度的耐腐蚀和抗氧化接头，但使用不限于此类应用。

This specification covers a gold-palladium-nickel alloy in the form of wire, rod, sheet, strip, foil, pig, powder, shot, and chips and a viscous mixture (paste) of powder in a suitable binder.This filler metal has been used typically for joining corrosion and heat resistant steels and alloys where corrosion and oxidation resistant joints with good strength at elevated temperatures are required, but usage is not limited to such applications.
