Abstract

The general alloying behaviour of gold is summarized on the basis of the literature data and the experimental results obtained by the authors on specific groups of gold alloys. Crystallochemistry, phase equilibria and diagrams, thermodynamic properties are especially considered. These properties and their trends are discussed with reference to the position in the Periodic Table of the metal partner of the gold alloys.
