∙ 10y ago- 18-Carat gold is forming an alloy with 75% gold
- The carat or karat (symbol: K or kt) is a unit of purity for gold alloys.
- Carat purity is measured as 24 times the pure mass divided by the total mass:carat = 24 x Massg / masst
where carat is the carat rating of the material,massg is the mass of pure gold or platinum in the material, andmasst is the total mass of the material.
- Therefore,
- 24-Carat gold is fine (actually 99.9% gold by mass rather than 100%),
- 18-Carat gold is 18 parts gold 6 parts another metal (forming an alloy with 75% gold), 12-Carat gold is 12 parts gold (12 parts another metal), and so forth.
