the answer is silver which is a precious metal other than gold or another type of metal.
The term 24KGB means that the gold in this item has been coated with another metal other than gold. The price depends on the value of the underlying metal.
platinum is most precious than gold
Copper
Your question is unclear but most spikes are made with materials other than gold.
Gold plate is a layer of gold thinner than paper. Gold filled is made of gold, but hollow, and the hollow is filled with another metal. Gold filled has much more gold.
14k gold is 14 parts gold mixed with 10 parts other (cheaper) metal (58.3 % gold) 18k gold is 18 parts gold mixed with 6 parts other metal (75% gold) So 18k is more expensive than 14k
Advanced metal detectors can check for the difference between coins and gold nuggets. You can look for other precious metals or gold rings.
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.
Yes. Gold may be mixed with quntities of other metal, which is why there is the 9ct and 12ct gold. 12 ct gold contains more gold than 9ct
Pure metal is weaker than alloyed metal. ! and zinc oxide + Gold = zinc oxide + gold. !
there are several other precious metal other than gold as silver ,platinum,mercury,copperand osmium . Gold are in same periodic group of silver and copper
The basic answer is that an Alloy is more than one metal combined to create another metal. EG: Steel Bronze Solder Most jewelry "gold" Most Jewelry "silver"
