Palladium Plating on Titanium

Palladium is known to minimize crevice corrosion on titanium in an oxidative and mildly corrosive (pH~6.5) environment. I am looking for a practical procedure on palladium plating on titanium. I would appreciate some guidance or suggestions. Thank you kindly for your assistance.

Plating palladium can be a bit of a problem, Ty, but I think the bigger issue is plating onto titanium at all. I suggest you start by looking at ASM Metals Handbook Vol. 5 "Surface Engineering" for tips on how to plate onto titanium. Good luck.
