Ghd Platinum+ Vs Gold

[Flocka Bilodeau]

Ihave a request to make a ring in 18k gold that would have a gray-ish white color. I have 999.5 Pt and 999.9 Gold available, along with fine silver and copper. Is there a formula that would yield the desired color and still allow me to hallmark it 18k gold?

I'm not a major fan of the yellow gold on the POA series - however the solid yelow gold of the Morgan 888 is awsome! Platinum just feels so heavy and seems to imbalance most pens. As for the Rose gold on the Julius 888 - wow

In the magic system I'm developing, denser metals (like platinum or gold) can store up energy in order to fuel spells at the user's need. A weapon made of said metals would be very useful, since the wielder would be able to store vast amounts of power into it (and even place enchantments into the blade), and it would also be incredibly expensive and rare (which those metals already are).

However, those metals are also unsuitable for use as weaponry, which leads to the question: are there any alloys of them which would be suitable for, say, making swords and axes? Alloys aren't as efficient as the pure material for storage, but would still be a lot more efficient than something made of steel, or even lead.

A sword forged from this stuff would certainly be magical. Lighter, stronger, harder, sharper, corrosion resistant and extremely difficult to forge. It's difficult to form the alloy in the first place, and then you get the α-phase (same hardness as straight titanium). The harder β-phase forms only at extremely high temperatures.

I was thinking about how mediaeval smiths might produce such a thing and you're going to love the answer: in the side of a volcano. And he'll still need coal dust and a fan. How exactly the smith is supposed to survive in such an environment is your problem. I expect that such weapons will have been made by your gods, giving a whole new meaning to "limited edition".

A regular forge won't be hot enough. It will return the material to the α-phase, which is not a horrible material for a sword but won't hold an edge the way the β-phase will. Any reforging of the Sword that was Broken would be an epic quest in itself; you would need to enlist the aid of your world's equivalent to Hephaestus/Vulcan.

It would be within the strength of a big fighter to apply enough torsion to snap it. But this only improves the item from a game perspective because players take care about how they use it, or face the ire of other players for destroying a unique item that's nearly impossible to reforge.

Straight titanium is similar in hardness to 304 stainless steel, and although I could not find a hardness value for beta βTi3Au it is widely described as "four times harder than titanium" hence my razor blade comments.

Bronze swords were thicker to offset the lower material strength. With half the density you can double the thickness and come out the same weight. While aluminium bronzes can have up to 780MPa tensile strength, the alloys available to the Greeks were about 230MPa.

I was going to go with the inlay answer, but as another alternative, why aren't your magical weapons metal staves, rods, and Maces? Here, other than a strong handle, the weight of the weapon is what makes it effective. I don't know what properties your magic imbues, so I can't speak for what magical properties the weapon would have. Mass in a crushing weapon is valuable to cripple and maim armored OR unarmored opponents; By the time knights started wearing plate armor, sharp swords were undesirable and good only for fighting lesser opponents.

If these weapons are merely batteries for magical storage, A simple Gold rod (perhaps with a steel shaft in the middle) would be an almost hallmark weapon of wizards. Just flashing a golden mace would say "Don't mess with me, I'm a wizard." On the other hand, stealing a wizard's rod would leave him vulnerable. I'd suggest a sort of breastplate with gold strapped directly to the wizard's body.

Unless there's a strict requirement for the entire blade to be made of gold/platinum, don't use alloys. There will be plenty of compromises in quality, hardness, cost and utility that you may not want to make.

It's easy to find a blacksmith to work iron. It's easy to find a jeweler to work gold and platinum. It's very rare to find someon who can do both. Unless there's a very long history of this kind of workmanship, the number of practitioners in magical sword making is going to be very small.

Gold is very soft with a hardness of 2.5. Platinum is 3.5. Iron is 4.0 (source) Any alloy of gold or platinum is going to have to fight that lack of hardness. The metallurgy could get quite complicated to get satisfactory alloys.

People love gold swords. Sometimes they have them in weddings even. But in real life gold is heavy and soft so it would not make a very functional tool. Even those wedding swords are not solid because they would be so heavy they would pull the groom's pants down.

I am reminded of the stealth aircraft which require a "fly-by-wire" interface because they are inherently unstable and unaerodynamic. Without the tech they cannot fly. So too your gold sword. As made it is pretty much unusable except for pulling down grooms' pants. But lay on that magic and it becomes light and sharp and also whatever else you want - maybe it can be thrown accurately and return to your hand, or sing songs around the campfire.

People who are digging magic swords might not need to see accurate metallurgy. Make your sword solid gold and maximally awesome. If the magic has the potential of wearing off, make your your grooms have maximally awesome undershorts.

Why can't a gold or platinum weapon be magically hardened? Not only would the cost of making such a weapon be great, but you could have varying levels of hardness based on how complex the magic is. This would introduce varying levels of cost and could also introduce the need to "refuel" the weapon, which would prevent infinite weapons and create true loss. True loss is what keeps an economy going!

They are all good for different reasons. Get the gold if you are content doing puzzles and watching videos. Get the platinum for computer analysis that will tell you what you could have done better in a game. Get the diamond to access a more detailed analysis of your game or whatever game you want reviewed. This "coach advice" is good because you can look at a game and understand what's going on in a way you wouldn't easily be able to on your own. You should do your own analysis first then compare it with the computer's. You can get one month memberships. Maybe start with the gold for a month then try the other two in the following months. That way you can learn the basic features before moving on to more advanced features. I am very happy with the gold membership. I have tried the other memberships but I see no point in paying more for a membership I don't fully utilize.

The percentage of gold in a piece of jewelry is measured in karats. Pure gold is 24K, however is generally too soft to work with and therefore is often mixed with other metals creating a harder alloy.The metals used with the pure gold create different gold colors and shades. The higher the Karat is, higher the percentage of pure gold there is in the piece. It is important to note that pure gold or 24K gold is very soft, so it also follows that the higher the Karat is the softer the piece will be.

14 karat gold is often marked '585' to indicate the gold percentage of 58.5% pure gold in the piece of jewelry. 14K gold is slightly harder and whiter than the 18K option, but is slightly lighter, due to the lower gold purity. Our jewelry is made in 14K white and yellow gold as standard. As pure gold is a very soft metal, the higher the purity, the more easily it can bend out of shape. We find that 14K offers the best balance of a silky smooth polish and lifetime durability.

18K gold is 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts other metals. This mix makes the gold jewelry 75% pure gold. 18K jewelry is often marked as '750' to indicate the pure gold percentage. On request, any of our designs can be made in 18K white or yellow gold.

10K gold is the minimum Karat that is still considered to be gold in most countries. It is 10 parts pure gold and 14 parts other metals, that means that the piece of jewelry is 41.7% pure gold. 10K gold is often marked with 417 to indicate the percentage of gold in the piece.

White gold is pure (yellow) gold mixed with white metals such as silver, palladium and nickel. The result is a gold alloy mixture of off-white color. To achieve a dazzling white finish, white gold is polished and dipped in pure rhodium. To maintain this beautiful white look, it's recommended to have your white gold jewelry cleaned and re-dipped in rhodium every few years.

Platinum is a naturally white metal with the same dazzling white finish as white gold after it's been rhodium plated. Platinum is more dense and stronger metal compared to gold and is used in high purity (over 95%). Platinum jewelry is stamped 'PLAT' or '950'. The 950 platinum marking on the jewelry refers to the purity content of the platinum, so it's just 5% other metals in the alloy. Compared to 14K white gold for example, which is stamped '585' for 58.5% purity.The main advantage of platinum jewelry, beyond its heavy feel and high purity, is that it keeps its white finish and doesn't require periodic maintenance like white gold. So if you're wondering, is platinum or white gold better, well for practical everyday use both are great. However platinum does have the added advantage of lower maintenance.

14K gold offers the perfect blend of durability and beauty, with a high percentage of hard metals in its alloy composition. While offering the same visual appeal as 18K gold, it provides added strength for everyday wear.
