Best used for
•  Bench Work
•  Rolling

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  General purpose yellow gold alloy.
•  Good setting properties
•  Due to the presence of zinc, this alloy may not perform satisfactory when enamelled
•  Can be quenched for maximum ductility
•  When melting, use a soft flame to avoid zinc burnout which will cause discolouration (red) and cracking

Best used for
•  Casting

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Versatile casting alloy with good fluidity and form filling properties
•  Due to the presence of zinc, this alloy may not perform satisfactory when enamelled
•  If used for bench work, the metal cracks & becomes hard

Best used for
•  Bench Work
•  Casting
•  Rolling

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Nickel content conforms to international standards and is magnetic
•  Do not use for piercing components
•  Excellent rolling properties and is good for bangles.
•  Boric acid flux should be used to keep the metal clean during the melting process. The molten metal should be mixed well with a stirring rod before pouring to assure a good mix. Remove the ingot from the mold & allow to air cool (which will allow the alloy to be much softer) – do not quench. Soak in a hot pickling solution to remove surface oxides

Best used for
•  Bench Work

•  Rolling

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Versatile metal alloy, more economical than 19% Palladium alloy
•  Use a softer flame than 19% Pd alloy
•  Rhodium plate for bright white colour

Best used for
•  Bench Work

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Bench work, rolling & setting metal
•  Deoxidize thoroughly – use reducing flame to prevent blistering during annealing
•  Can rhodium plate for brilliant white finish

Best used for
•  Casting

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Good casting properties
•  This alloy does not contain Nickel or Palladium
•  Rhodium plate for bright white colour
•  Soft alloy, suitable for handwork & casting

Best used for
•  Bench Work
•  Casting

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  General purpose red gold alloy.
•  Work hardens quickly due to high copper content
•  Use soft flame when annealing and roll gently
•  “Air cool” – no quenching
•  This alloy is age-hardenable

Best used for
•  Casting

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Specialist casting alloy
•  Easy finish
•  Good fluidity and form filling properties

Best used for
•  Bench Work

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Soft metal that rolls well and is good for bench work
•  Work hardens slowly
•  Do not melt too often or at too high a temperature – this will cause cracking & the metal to become red and brittle due to zinc burnout
•  Polishes well and has a good finish

Best used for
•  Bench Work
•  Casting

Best used for
•  Bench Work

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Excellent bench work metal. Anneal well & often
•  Soft alloy due to high palladium content
•  Can be used for centrifugal casting
•  Rhodium plating optional

Best used for
•  Bench Work
•  Casting
•  Rolling

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Multi purpose Nickel alloy, which is magnetic
•  Always ensure Nickel is mixed thoroughly
•  Plasticity and workability is good for bench and rolling when the metal is annealed and allowed to cool slowly
•  The Nickel content conforms to International standards
•  Anneal & air cool slowly

Best used for
•  Bench Work

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  Anneal as little as possible and allow to air cool
•  This metal work hardens quickly
•  This metal is difficult to roll.

Best used for
•  Bench Work
•  Casting
•  Rolling

Hints, Tips & Uses
•  General purpose yellow gold alloy.
