REAL JEWELLERY MANUFACTURING UNIT [3567]

Gold has a characteristic pleasing colour but it assumes various colours, e.g: deep violet, ruby and purple, when reduced to a finely divided state by volatilization or colloid formation.  It is the most extensible of all metals and can be reduced by hammering to a thickness of  0.00008.   Impurities  specially tellurium,   bismuth,  and  lead  reduce  its  malleability   and ductility  pure  gold  melts at 1063oC. Gold-copper   alloys are harder more fusible and   less malleable and ductile than pure gold.  They have higher tensile strengths.  The densities of these binary alloys are lower while those of triple alloys of gold, silver, and copper are higher. Gold  silver  alloys are soft, malleable,  and  ductile  and their  properties  are  intermediate between those  of  gold  and silver. Gold iron alloys are hard but malleable & ductile. Gold  and  mercury form amalgams at  ordinary  temperatures. Mercury dissoves 0.11% of gold at 0oC and 0.126% at 100oC. Gold absorbs mercury forming a silver-white solid containing about  40% gold.  On heating the mercury volatilizes leaving  the gold residue. In addition to its use as a medium of international exchange and  as a fiduciary to paper currency, about 5-10% of  the  world annual  production  is  consumed in the useful  arts.   Its  high specific  gravity, resplendent lustre, pleasing colour,  and  non tarnishing  quality  have  made it the  most  coveted  metal  for jewellery and comage since ancient times.  The chief uses of gold are  in  comage, jewellery, dental alloys gold coating of  base metals, and scientific instruments.  The properties of gold which are  valued  in trade and industry are its  pleasing  colour  and resistance to corrosion; malleability and ductility; low specific heat and latent heat of fusion; high electrical conductivity  and reflective power; & therepeutic effects of some of its salts. Alloys  of  gold  and iron are used  in  France  for  making jewellery under the name of gris; the iron content varies between 15 and 20%. Aluminium  forms a number of alloys with gold.  One of  them AuAl2(22%Al)  has  a  remarkable purple colour.   The  so  called aluminium-gold is an alloy of copper with about 25% aluminum.  It resembles gold in colour and it also slightly attached by  nitric acid. Many recipes have been formulated for soldering gold.   Many of them contain a considerable proportion of zinc  with  copper, silver,  and  gold.  In the prescence of copper,  zinc  does  not cause brittleness, though the alloy formed is extremely hard  and difficult  to  roll.  Cadmium has been substituted  for  zinc  in soldering   alloys.   The  solders  lose  Zinc  or   cadmium   by volatilization when heated and gradually become less fusible.
