    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

    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.
