Jensen has a problem free Noble alloy called Superior, 60 Pd/25 Ag and I've used for years without any checking or discoloring..
Argen has a comparable alloy Argelite 61, 61Pd /28 Ag. Both alloys work well and have a medium light oxide.
You asked for advice ! The dumbest thing I ever did in the lab is sell pfms thinking its ok to use Noble alloy and bill out at Flat Rate pricing.
Only the dental business would think its ok buying high priced Noble precious alloys and selling flat rate makes good business sense. At this time Pd is very high and slim chance of dropping $200./$300. If you start selling at flat rate and Pd increases or decreases its hard to continuely change your prices every time you order alloy. All doctors expect HN pfms to be billed by weight and current Au/Pd market price. Your account will see lower alloy prices using Noble alloys, aprox $300.00 less per ounce than HN at current market price, plus Noble alloys have lower Density, less weight, so stress that to your doctor.
Last time I ordered Superior months ago I think the price was around $735.00 or so plus shipping. Markup your alloy at 50% to 75% for your investment like everyone else does. Btw, its going to cost you more casting Noble using more investment, separate finishing tools, etc for this one account, so keep that in mind if your dead set at pricing flat rate.
