  • Precious Metal Testing Set Aurotest - ATS 1000
    Precious Metal Testing Set AuroTest - ATS 1000 The precious metals testing set - ATS 1000 is a non-destructive and user friendly authenticity analysis system for fine gold bars and gold coins of common sizes and weights from 5 g to 1000 g fineness. Even the analysis of bars and coins made of silver, platinum or palladium is possible with this innovative precious metals testing set. The ATS 1000 utilizes a combined measurement of density and ultrasound speed in metallic materials in order to evaluate the authenticity of fine gold bars and coins. Both methods are based on a thorough volume inspection of the tested precious metal objects and not only on the analysis of a thin surface layer. There is no need any more to send precious metals objects to any assayer or precious metals refiner for authenticity testing. With the testing set ATS 1000 you can check by yourself without any doubts the fineness and homogeneity of your precious metal objects within 5 minutes or Digital ultrasonic velocity gauge of the testing set ATS 1000 with sound probe; upper left corner: opened find out possible fakes. Traditional and light metal case with some parts of the testing set commonly used X-ray fluorescence analysis instruments (XRFA) for that purpose can not detect e.g. hidden precious metal imitates beyond an outer layer thickness of about 10 to 20 micron. Since the year 2009 an increasing number of counterfeited gold bars with weights of 250 g, 500 g and 1000 g - mainly originating from Asia - have been spotted on the international precious metal markets.

  • GLOSSARY of PLATING TERMS Acid Gold: a Mildly Acidic Process That Is Used When Plating from 7 to 200 Mils of Gold
    GLOSSARY OF PLATING TERMS Acid gold: A mildly acidic process that is used when plating from 7 to 200 mils of gold. The deposits are usually 23kt purity, and it is not usually used as the final finish. Antique: A process which involves the application of a dark top coating over bronze or silver. This coating, either plated or painted, is partially removed to expose some of the underlying metal. Anti-tarnish: A protective coating that provides minimal tarnish protection for a low cost. Barrel plating: A type of mass finishing that takes place in a barrel or tub. Barrel plating is usually requested for very small pieces where pricing must be kept low. Black nickel: A bright or matte, dark plating process that is used to highlight antique finishes. Or, when used as a final color it will range from dark grey to light black. A bright black nickel will yield the darkest color. Bright finish: A high luster, smooth finish. CASS testing: The Copper-Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray test is the same as the Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test, except it is accelerated, with typical time cycles being 8 and 24 hours. Cold nickel: A non-brightened nickel bath which replicates the original finish, that is, bright areas remain bright and dull areas remain dull. Color: Describes the final top coating (flash) which could be white, silver, 14kt gold (Hamilton), 18kt gold, or 24kt gold (English gold). See "gold flash" and "cyanide gold." Copper: An excellent undercoat in the plating process. Copper provides good conductivity and forms an excellent protective barrier between the base metal and the plate.

  • Kum Boo on Argentium Sterling Silver © Cynthia Eid 2011
    Kum Boo on Argentium Sterling Silver © Cynthia Eid 2011 Definition and history Kum Boo is the Korean name for a technique for applying gold to silver. In the Korean language, it translates as “attached gold”. The technique has variations seen in Chinese and Japanese metalworks, as well as in Korea, and is also used to attach gold to iron, steel, and copper. It is possible to use the process to attach gold to colored gold alloys, palladium, and platinum. Spelling Because Korean does not use our alphabet, there are other spellings, such as Keum- boo. I spell it as Kum Boo, because in a conversation with Komeila Okim, we decided that is closest to a phonetic spelling. How it Works Gold attaches to fine silver in a diffusion bond, through heat and pressure. The heat source may be a torch, a lab hot plate, a kitchen hot plate, an ultralite kiln, or whatever heat source is available, to heat the metals to 650-850°F. Pressure is usually applied with steel, agate, or pyrex burnishers. Preparation of Silver Step One: Cut, Solder, Texture.....the Silver It is wise to start with a small piece, which is flat, or has a gently curved surface. In my experience, the gold bonds best to a surface with a shallow texture. A bit of “tooth” seems to give the metals a mechanical bond in addition to the bond of the atoms. Examples of what I find to be good textures to use include: -Texture from a grinding stone or diamond-bur made with a flexible shaft -Texture of sanding.

  • Understanding Gold Alloy Features from Thermodynamic Phenomena
    Understanding Gold Alloy Features From Thermodynamic Phenomena AUTHORS Dr. Patrizio Sbornicchia, Stefano Rappo, Damiano Zito, Valerio Doppio, Federica Tiso, Gisela Cepeda Progold S.p.A. Trissino (VI), Italy 1. INTRODUCTION The colored gold alloys are generally a ternary matrix of three elements such as gold, copper and silver. Their association is so favorable and stable that most natural precious nuggets found around the world reflect this general composition. The variable content of copper and silver not only dictates the color but also a great part of the metallurgical behavior of the gold alloy, even if the presence of other additives is commonly required to improve the opto-mechanical characteristics to the level demanded by the modern market. Lost-wax investment casting is a very ancient and reliable production process to obtain accurate items, and it is typically performed by pouring molten alloys into refractory molds.1 In ideal conditions, the liquid alloy fills the cavities of the mold without interactions or turbulence and, consequently, the resulting surface quality of the solid items is very smooth and the integrity of the parts is maintained down to the finest details. The features of form-filling and inner porosity constitute the castability performance of the alloy. Roughness is also included in this definition but, being a surface characteristic of the solid, it is less important, especially because it can be easily removed by the usual finishing techniques. This is particularly true for low roughness, the magnitude of which does not affect the detail resolution of the cast. Unfortunately, real castings are often affected by several volume defects that may lead to rejects.

  • Phase Transformations in 18-Carat Gold Alloys Studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy

Schneider, président du jury Prof. R. Schaller, Dr D. Mari, directeurs de thèse Prof. G. Fantozzi, rapporteur Dr A. Munier, rapporteur Prof. M. Rappaz, rapporteur Suisse 2010 i Abstract This work is motivated by an industrial interest in gaining a better understand- ing of the phase transformations that govern the mechanical properties of 18- carat gold alloys commonly used in jewelry applications and luxury watchmak- ing. These alloys fall in one of two categories: yellow gold based on the gold– copper–silver system and white gold based on gold–copper–palladium, but may contain further alloying elements that improve color, castability, strength, and wear resistance. In this thesis, selected alloys from the two series are studied, primarily by me- chanical spectroscopy. The analysis and interpretation of the experimental data identifies three important anelastic relaxations (internal dissipation processes), which dominate the mechanical loss spectrum of each of these materials above room temperature. A Zener relaxation, due to directional ordering of atoms in the substitutional solid solution, occurs at intermediate temperatures, between 550 K and 700 K depending on the alloy. Near an order–disorder transition, the Zener relaxation increases markedly in strength when approaching the transition temperature from above, and breaks down when the materials forms the long-range ordered phase below it.
