How is alloy different from gold?
An alloy is simply two or more metals mixed together. For instance, stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and nickel. PURE gold would be a single metal (gold, and nothing but gold) However, PURE gold is too soft to use for most things, and the gold is alloyed with another metal. The resulting metal is less valuable than gold, but harder, and will withstand wear. Pure gold is known as 24K (or karat) Gold used for jewelry is usually between 10K (10 parts gold, 14 parts of another metal) and 16K (16 parts gold, 8 parts of another metal) The higher the K, the softer and more valuable the item.
