These metals can include gold, silver, copper, brass, and others that are malleable and suitable for crafting intricate designs. The term is often used in the context of crafting and jewelry-making workshops.


Gold is a ductile metal what does that mean?

Gold is a ductile metal means that gold metal possesses the capability of being drawn into wires. A 10gm piece of gold can be drawn into 2km wire. Not only this, gold is the most malleable metal which means that it could be beaten into thin sheets. A gold piece can be beaten into a a sheet which is transparent.


What does 'metal basis' mean?

The term "metal basis" indicates that the purity of the product is determined by the metal content of the material. For example, the metal content of a material that is 4N indicates that 99.99% of the metal present in the material is of one metal element.
