I was looking around on the web about the various alloys of gold that can produce different colors and happened upon that diagram up there.
So, here's my question, how do I read the graph?
Like, let's say I wanted to make a gold that would be as yellow as the Y in the word yellowish on that diagram.
My reading of that alloy is that it would be about 55% silver, 50% copper, and about 50% gold.
That math doesn't seem to add up.
Can anybody tell me how to read this graph?
Sure, there's a bunch of info on the Colored Gold wikipedia page, but nothing there is terribly helpful either.
At the ASM camp right now and saw this post. Intriguing. This website explains it well. Cool. http://sv.rkriz.net/classes/MSE2094_NoteBook/96ClassProj/experimental/ternary2.html
