The alloying behaviour of gold

  • Published:
Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Our knowledge of the alloying characteristics of gold is now extensive, much of it conforming to the general theory of alloying developed over the past few decades. In the first part of this review the formation of solid solutions is described in terms of atomic structure. In the second part the factors affecting the formation of compounds of gold with other metals will be considered.
