  2. Colored gold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold

    Amongst the alloys made of gold, silver, and copper, the hardest is the 18.1 K pink gold (75.7% gold and 24.3% copper). An alloy with only gold and silver is the hardest at 15.5 K (64.5% gold and 35.5% silver). During ancient times, due to impurities in the smelting process, gold frequently turned a reddish color.

  6. Tumbaga - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbaga

    Tumbaga is an alloy composed mostly of gold and copper. It has a significantly lower melting point than gold or copper alone [citation needed]. It is harder than copper, but maintains malleability after being pounded. Tumbaga can be treated with a carboxylic acid, such as oxalic acid, to dissolve copper off the surface. What remains is a shiny ...

  9. Wohlwill process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wohlwill_process

    The Wohlwill process is an industrial-scale chemical procedure used to refine gold to the highest degree of purity (99.999%). [1] The process was invented in 1874 by Emil Wohlwill. This electrochemical process involves using a cast gold ingot, often called a doré bar, of 95%+ gold to serve as an anode. Lower percentages of gold in the anode ...
