A Study and develop the composition of white gold alloy 6k for jewelry setting manufacturing

Abstract

This Research is to Study the Development of 6k White Gold Alloys for Jewelry Production. The Influence of Admixtures on Mechanical Properties was Investigated (Tensile Strength and Hardness) of 6k White Gold Alloys at Various Composite Ratios. The Results of the Experiments Show that the Chemical Composition of 6k White Gold Alloys is Slightly Different when Compared with the XRF (X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometers). Compare the pre and Post-Melting Quantities. Test results of Mechanical Properties of Test Pieces. The Tensile Strength of the 6k Gold Alloy is 25% Au+46%Ag+8%Cu+3%Zn+18%Pd The Highest Value was 1.14 kN / mm2, the Lowest Percentage was 64% and the Hardness was 259.87HV. The Result of this Test is that the Mechanical Properties of the Material are Brittle Material. When the Mold is Formed, the Fracture and Forming will be Difficult. 25%Au+42%Ag+12%Cu+3%Zn+ 18%Pd, 25%Au+50%Ag+4%Cu+3%Zn+18%Pd and 25%Au+54%Ag+0%Cu+3%Zn+ 18%Pd Tensile Strength in the Range of 0.66-0.70 kN / mm2, Percentage of Elongation in the Range of 84-90% and Hardness of 277.60, 244.60 and 186.73HV, Respectively. The Mechanics will Show that the Alloys of White Gold 6k 25%Au+54%Ag+0%Cu+3% Zn+18%Pd Have Similar Tensile Strength. The Maximum Percentage of Elongation is 90% and the Minimum Hardness is 186.73HV. It is Suitable for Forming because it has Ductile Material. This is a Good Mechanical Property in the Metal Forming Machine.
