Rhodium is often used in jewelry because of its bright white finish or in electronics for electrical connectors and contacts.

Palladium

Palladium

Palladium

palladium plated mesh

Palladium plating is often used in applications similar to platinum. It is less dense, more ductile, and less expensive than platinum.

Nickel

Palladium

Palladium

nickel improves durablity of many components

Nickel and Electroless-Nickel are used in a variety of electronic, aerospace, automotive, and medical  applications as it is highly durable and corrosion resistant. 

Copper

Copper

copper connectors

Copper's excellent electrical conductivity makes it a favorite for connectors, antennas, and other applications for the aerospace, communications and electronics industries.

Tin
