text: The color of 14K gold is determined by the metals used in the alloy as well as the proportion of each metal used.
text: Alloying Almost all metals are used as alloys—that is, mixtures of several elements—because these have properties superior to pure metals.
text: In addition to their use in coins and jewelry, precious metals such as silver, gold, and the heavier platinum metals are used extensively in electrical devices in which contact resistances must remain low, in catalytic applications to aid chemical reactions, and in temperature-measuring devices such as resistance thermometers and thermocouples.
text: There is no standard proportion to the metals used in this alloy, although it is often around 75% copper and 20% tin with low proportions of the other metals.
text: The other metals used in the alloy are often not expensive and do not impact on the overall cost of the metal by much.
