Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Gold-rich electrodeposits find extensive applications as electrical contacts, but material costs are forcing producer and user industries to give serious consideration to new methods of savings. Certain gold alloy electrodeposits, less than 10 μm, and usually 1 μm thick, have remarkable stability to corrosion and diffusion, and may be valuable in ensuring prolonged contact life.
