- 1). Put on protective gloves when casting metal, and wear welding glasses to protect your eyes from the intense light and heat of the melting process.
- 2). Use torch heat and begin melting a palladium bullion at a heat of 1554.9 Celsius, or 2830.82 Fahrenheit. The bullion is placed in the cast to begin the heating process. Torching the bullion can be completed once the metal is entirely melted.
- 3). Cast the metal into a platinum-grade ceramic crucible, where it will sit for a while before the cooling process begins. After the palladium is melted and begins cooling, pour it into an ingot mold to set the metal into its desired shape. It freezes fairly quickly so make sure it is in the shape you desire. Use the protective gloves to help you shape it.
