temperature question - alloying down to 14 karat from fine gold, silver & copper

hey guys! new with casting gold here, and my question is how your workflow would look like when you wanna alloy and cast your own 14 karat gold. when i search online i see that the best casting temp for 14 karat yellow gold will be around 900 - 1000 celcius, depending on centrifugal / vaccum, size of casting, thickness etc etc etc. however, now i stand with three fine metals i wanna alloy together with different flow & casting temps. fine gold melting point - 1064 degrees c. / 1945 degrees...

casting grains vs. master alloys - manhattan gold & silver

read on to learn about the difference between precious metal casting grains and master alloys – and the benefits of buying them separately.

metals

jump directly to illustration of gold-fill vs. gold plate.what are elements and alloys? metals can be elements or alloys. elements are the basic building blocks of chemistry. examples of elements: oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, iron (fe), copper (cu) and niobium (nb).lead (pb) is an element that was popular for 1,000's of years as an ingredient in casting alloys (and some other alloys) because it makes some metals softer, less brittle and/or helps them melt at lower temperatures. lead is now known to be related to certain cognitive and health problems (especially in children), and most governments are regulating allowable amounts of lead in jewelry components, due to the dangers of children swallowing beads or other parts of their jewelry. jewelry components containing lead are generally considered safe for adults to handle and wear externally, as adults are less likely to ingest their jewelry. more about lead in jewelry components.alloys are mixtures of various elements. alloys can be a "base" (less costly) metal, like brass, or a "precious" (more costly) metal, like sterling silver or karat gold. jewelers and engineers create alloys to change the color, melting temperature, and/or strength of elements. for example, solid gold is too soft for most applications. to make it stronger, it is alloyed (mixed) with other elements. what are base metals?base metal is a catch-all term in the jewelry industry for metals used in costume jewelry. in metal working, base metal is any metal that is not one of the noble or precious metals. base metals may be plated or raw (bare, unplated). in costume jewelry, base metals are often plated with a very thin layer of gold, silver, nickel, rhodium or other metal on the surface of the bead, finding, chain or other component. common base metals include:aluminum is a soft metal, making it excellent for embossing and metal stamping, as well as layering and riveting.aluminum does not rust, nor does it take a patina with the standard chemicals normally used to darken jewelry. it oxidizes the moment it comes into contact with oxygen or water! fortunately this oxidized layer of aluminum oxide (al2o3) immediately forms a stable layer that protects aluminum from corrosion or further oxidation.how do you color aluminum? bright, permanent colors on aluminum are achieved through anodizing. anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a durable, corrosion-resistant oxide finish. although the color is durable, remember that aluminum is a soft metal: when working with anodized aluminum, take care to avoid scratching through the anodized layer.to add your own custom colors to aluminum, you can use paints, ranger alcohol inks, and vintaj's faux patinas, but to avoid negative reactions, we strongly recommend avoiding traditional jeweler's chemicals. (do not use win-ox™ with aluminum!) shop aluminum sheet and wire. brass is an alloy of copper, zinc and sometimes other metals. it is typically 70% copper and 30% zinc. our red brass wire is 90% copper and 10% zinc, giving it a slightly warmer color. raw (unplated) brass components are usually the same color as yellow (plated) findings, although they will vary in color and may also work with gold plate. the surfaces of raw brass items may be imperfect, and require polishing, and their finish may change with age.anti-tarnish brass (a proprietary alloy) looks very close to the color of 14kt gold. another name for anti-tarnish brass is tarnish-resistant brass.  brittania pewter -- see pewter copper is an elemental metal that is bright reddish-orange in color. it's a very reactive metal, meaning over time, it will darken and gain a patina, sometimes with a greenish hue. copper can also discolor skin, most commonly when it is worn snugly like a finger ring or tight-fitting bracelet. copper is a soft metal, which makes it great for wire wrapping. because of copper's softness, solid copper components may bend easier than copper-plated beads and findings. unplated copper is usually called raw copper or bare copper. nickel silver is sometimes also called german silver. it is a base-metal alloy of nickel, copper and zinc. while nickel is silver in color, it does not contain any sterling silver. our nickel silver wire is 65% copper, 18% nickel, and 17% zinc. the relatively inexpensive cost of nickel silver compared with sterling makes it an attractive option for jewelry components. just be aware that some people are allergic to nickel, and you may not be able to sell it in the uk and eu. see nickel-free niobium is highly resistant to corrosion and other reactions, and is used in medical implants. niobium jewelry findings come in several anodized colors. anodizing is a way to color metal by dipping it into an electrically charged "bath" that creates bright colors without plating or painting the surface. the colors don't flake or chip like plated or painted surfaces can. the main drawback of anodized niobium is that it doesn't match basic silver and gold colors. on the upside, niobium is an inert element, with no nickel, lead, or other additives, most people with metal allergies can safely wear niobium. pewter includes any of the numerous silver-gray alloys of tin with various amounts of antimony and copper. old/vintage pewter components frequently contain lead, because it is inexpensive and lowers the alloy's melting temperature. now, you rarely find pewter that contains lead unless you buy it from a clueless or unscrupulous supplier. (beware of prices that seem too good to be true!)tierracast products are made with a lead-free pewter called britannia pewter, which consists of tin, antimony, and copper. most tierracast britannia pewter beads and jewelry findings have a surface finish (plating) of a different color over the pewter base.some of our base-metal items are made of a brass or zinc alloy base (the "material" on the details page), with an antiqued pewter plating (the "color" on the details page). in nearly all cases, these brass or zinc alloys meet lead-free criteria. steel is a blanket term for a wide variety of iron-based alloys that are very tough and hard. cold-rolled steel is shaped when the metal is below its recrystallization temperature (usually room temperature). the metal is literally pressed between rollers in a mill to flatten and thin the steel. this cold processing method work hardens the metal and strengthens it up to 20% more than hot processing. it also creates a very smooth surface with a uniform finish. it allows for the creation of small products with great strength. afnor xc45 steel is a specific type of cold-rolled steel, and is a combination of xc45 and xc75 (afnor) steel — also known as 1045 steel and aisi 1078 steel, respectively. the alloy is a carbon steel with no nickel added, meaning it meets the strict standard of the eu nickel directive.jewelry findings made of afnor xc45 steel include superior-quality french barrette backs and shoe clips.carbon steel has a carbon content up to 2.1% by weight, and it may have a variety of other elements (besides iron and carbon). as the carbon percentage rises, steel has the ability to become harder and stronger through heat treating, but with a corresponding decrease in ductility (it may become more brittle). carbon steel has a matte finish, compared to stainless steel's shiny finish.stainless steel (a.k.a. corrosion-resistant steel) is a generic name for any steel alloy with a minimum of 11.5 wt% chromium. common types or grades include 440, 304l, 316l and 904a. in all types of stainless steel, the chromium creates a very thin chromium-oxide layer on the surface of the metal which prevents it from rusting. the advantage of stainless steels over plated steels is that, if scratched or damaged, the stainless steel 'self-repairs' as a new chromium-oxide layer is formed. in plated steels, scratches in the plating can lead to corrosion of the steel underneath. in general, the higher percentage of chromium, the stronger the corrosion resistance of the steel. other metals are added to the alloy to give the steel other properties, such as strength and malleability. nickel is added to strengthen the protective oxide layer.stainless steel findings are slightly more gray than white findings, but the difference is barely noticeable, especially on finished jewelry. stainless steels do not match sterling or silver plate well. 304 stainless steel is the most popular grade of stainless steel. it is 18-20% chromium, 8-10.5% nickel, 0.08% carbon, plus iron and the trace elements listed above. it is commonly used in the food industry (sinks, coffee urns, dairy storage and hauling, beer/brewing, citrus and fruit juice handling, etc). the same corrosion and stain resistance that make it great for food handling, also make it popular for jewelry.304l stainless steel is almost the same as 304, but has a lower carbon content (0.03%), and may contain a slightly higher amount of nickel (8-12%). this alloy has increased weldability and resistance to corrosion (great for men's jewelry).430 stainless steel contains less than 0.75% nickel, and some forms of 430 stainless steel meet the eu nickel directive (less than .05% nickel ion migration). 430 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance compared to non-stainless steel, but not as good as the 304 and 316 alloys. this makes it less popular for jewelry than you would expect from its low nickel content. however, it is gaining in popularity due to the low nickel content, and we now have bead caps in addition to earring findings in 430 stainless steel.surgical stainless steel is a specific type of stainless steel which, while wearable by the majority of the population, does contain a small amount of nickel (to which some people are allergic), usually 8% in jewelry. 316 and 316l surgical stainless steel contain 2-3% molybdenum for even greater resistance to harsh corrosives (both industrial, and in the body). 316l is a low carbon version of 316, with extra corrosion resistance, and is frequently used for stainless steel watches and marine applications. like most other stainless steel, it contains 8-10.5% nickel, making it unsuitable for people with nickel allergies.titanium is a very strong metal that's extremely resistant to corrosion. because of this, it's frequently used in medical implants, and it's an excellent choice for people with nickel allergies. our titanium ear wires and earring posts are grade 1 astm f67, which is unalloyed commercially pure titanium, and meets the eu nickel directive. our titanium earring posts have either a brittania pewter pad, or a stainless steel 430 flat pad. "white metal" and "pot metal" are terms for tin-based alloys used in low temperature casting of base-metal jewelry components. white metal is the "silver" color that you most often see on costume jewelry and base-metal findings. white metal castings are usually three-dimensional rather than flat and are often plated. the exact composition of white metal varies, because each casting foundry and shop uses its own proprietary formula. see platings for more information on colors of base-metal components. what are precious metals?the term precious metal refers to rare metals of high economic value. the term usually includes platinum, gold, and silver. a metal can be considered a "noble" metal (meaning it is highly resistant to corrosion) without being a "precious" metal. gold, silver, and platinum are generally considered to be both noble metals and precious metals. some years, market "spot" prices of precious metals fluctuate greatly. an immediate effect will be noticed in sterling, gold filled and 14kt gold wire, sheet, beads and findings. if prices remain particularly high (or low), there will be a similar (but smaller) effect in the prices of silver-plated and gold-plated (base metal) items. precious metals at rings & things include:sterling silver, sometimes stamped .925, is an alloy of at least 92.5% silver, and (usually) copper. it is a soft, easy to work with metal, which can be antiqued to a dark black or polished to a bright shine. more information about sterling silver.argentium® sterling silver is a tarnish-resistant variety of sterling that consists of 1.2% germanium, 6.3% copper and 92.5% silver. for the end user, argentium's main attraction is its tarnish-resistance which requires much less maintenance than traditional sterling silvers. for metal workers, argentium offers additional benefits. it does not develop firescale, which both saves artisans time and makes it environmentally friendlier than traditional sterling. argentium can be made nearly twice as hard as standard annealed sterling silver by a simple heat treatment, and it is laser weldable. these properties allow for expanded design possibilities. fine silver, sometimes stamped .999, is at least 99.9% pure silver, which means it is softer and more malleable than sterling. it also tends to take longer to tarnish. fine silver findings and wire are compatible with art clay™ silver and precious metal clay. silver fill is made by using heat and pressure to apply a layer of .925 sterling or .999 fine silver to a base of less costly metal. this produces a surface of sterling silver or fine silver that is hundreds of times thicker than a silver plating. there are no industry standards yet for silver fill, but the silver-filled components rings & things carries are at least 1/20th silver by weight. more info. vermeil, pronounced "vehr-may," is a plating of karat gold over sterling silver. vermeil jewelry components available at rings & things.karat (kt) gold: pure gold is 24kt, meaning 24 out of 24 parts are gold. 24kt is too soft to be functional, so it is alloyed with other metals for durability, cost and color. 14kt is 14 parts gold out of 24, and the remaining 10 parts are other metals. depending on the color of gold (which can be yellow, rose, green or white), the other parts may be copper, silver, nickel, zinc, tin, palladium and/or manganese. people with nickel allergies should be aware that, until recently, most white gold contained nickel. today, palladium is used to make a white gold alloy that is less likely to react to the wearer's skin. gold fill (also called gold overlay) is made by using heat and pressure to apply a layer of karat gold to a base of less costly metal. this produces a surface with karat gold. the minimum layer of karat gold must equal at least 1/20 of the total weight of the item. gold-filled beads, wire, and jewelry findings we carry.gold-filled tubing and wire are usually seamless, so only gold touches the body. gold-filled sheets of base metal, used to make other findings, can be either single clad (gold on visible side only) or double clad (gold on both sides and sometimes the edge). seamless and double clad gold-filled items are less likely to discolor, since the base metal is sealed inside the gold. however, the layer of gold on a single clad 1/20 gold-filled item is as thick (and the same total weight) as the two layers of gold on a double clad 1/20 gold-filled item. use care when buffing gold-filled items, to avoid removing the gold layer.the surface layer of karat gold on gold-filled items is usually 10kt, 12kt or 14kt (see illustration for more info). to know the thickness of the layer, look for a fraction, such as 1/10 or 1/20. it will be 1/20 unless otherwise stamped. examples:1/10 10kt gf: 1/10 of the total weight must be 10kt gold.1/20 12kt gf: 1/20 of the total weight must be 12kt gold.what are ethical & green metals?the terms "ethical metals" and "green metals" describe metals made from previously used materials that are refined and reused, as opposed to metals that have been newly mined. some silver and gold have always been reclaimed (recycled) from scrap jewelry, electronics, industrial scrap, photo processing, and other sources. in this sense, precious metals have always been green.rings & things asked our suppliers of silver sheet and wire if their materials are made from newly mined or recycled materials. all of them responded that they use recycled silver. once a product is cast, stamped, or milled, there's no way to tell where the metal came from. this means that we must rely on what manufacturers tell us. nevertheless, the historical precedent of recycling precious metals, combined with high prices in metal markets, means it's safe to assume that at least some of our precious metal beads and jewelry findings are also made with "green" or ethical metals. what are platings?a plating is a thin deposit of metal that is electro-chemically or otherwise applied to the surface of a different metal base. other materials, like plastic, can also be plated. many plated items are plated with copper first, then the final color.terms like white, yellow, silver plate, and gold plate can be somewhat ambiguous when you're trying to determine whether or not the clasps in your hand will match the jewelry chain, jump rings, ear wires, etc. listed in a catalog. here are our plating definitions, which are fairly standard throughout the jewelry industry: white plate is the "silver" color most often see on costume jewelry and base-metal findings. white-plated components are generally grayer, but also more durable, than silver-plated components. they generally do not tarnish. the plating is typically an imitation rhodium plate made of an alloy of copper, tin, zinc, and/or nickel.many white-plated tierracast® components formerly had a plating of real rhodium over a nickel undercoating, but in 2021, the price of rhodium skyrocketed and tierracast's rhodium plated findings are transitioning to a white bronze plate. there is a small potentional for the nickel undercoating to leach, making rhodium plated and white bronze plated supplies not fully compliant with the eu nickel directive.tip: the item number for our white-plated products ends in a -1. silver plate is a thin surface layer of actual silver. it nicely matches the color of sterling silver; it doesn't quite match our white findings. like sterling silver, silver plate can tarnish. for this reason, it's frequently lacquered to prevent or slow tarnish.tip: the item number for our silver-plated products ends in a -3. silver color is an imitation silver plating designed to inhibit oxidation. you could say that it's between silver plate and white plate. antiqued silver plate is a thin surface layer of silver that has been darkened to provide a "distressed" (oxidized) appearance.antiqued pewter plate is a pewter-colored plating that has been darkened to provide a "distressed" (oxidized) appearance. some antiqued pewter beads and findings are matte, while others are shiny.yellow plate is a gold-colored plating that is slightly brassier than gold plate, and is sometimes longer lasting. yellow finishes go best with raw brass.tip: the item number for our yellow-plated products ends in a -2. gold plate is a very thin deposit of actual gold (about 1/1,000 - 1/1,000,000 of an inch). the color of our gold plate (and most gold plate in the united states) matches 14kt gold. heavy gold electroplate might be 2 or 3/1000s of an inch thick (this can also be written as 2 or 3 mils). learn the difference between gold plate and gold fill. many gold-plated items have a white nickel plate under the final gold plate. warning: hand lotion will accelerate tarnish on gold plated components, and can result in a black color within days of handling.tip: the item number for our gold-plated products ends in a -4.gilt is a very thin finish of gold color that is not actual gold.vermeil, pronounced "vehr-may," is a plating of karat gold over sterling silver (see precious metals for more info). antiqued gold plate is a very thin surface layer of actual gold (about 1/1,000 - 1/1,000,000 of an inch) that has been darkened to provide a "distressed" (oxidized) appearance. warning: hand lotion will accelerate tarnish on gold plated components, and can result in a black color within days of handling.antiqued brass components typically have a brass or zinc base with a brass plating. the crevices of antiqued brass beads, charms and findings are darkened to give them a "distressed" (oxidized) appearance.copper plate is a bright, shiny copper plating. because the metal underneath the plating is usually a harder metal than copper, copper-plated components tend to be more durable (less bendable) than solid copper parts.antiqued copper plate is a copper plating that has been darkened to provide a "distressed" (oxidized) appearance. gunmetal plating varies in color from gun blue to matte dark gray to shiny black metal. it often consists of black nickel plated over brass, but we also carry some gunmetal components that meet the eu nickel directive. (click into a product's details to see if it says it meets the eu nickel directive.). we also carry gunmetal coated czech and japanese glass beads! see base metals and precious metals for more on specific metals. what's the difference between gold plate and gold fill?gold fill is 50 to 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating, and about 17 to 25,000 times thicker than heavy gold electroplate. similarly, silver fill is 100's of times thicker than a silver plating.illustrated examples comparing gold plate thickness to gold fill thicknesses:for more information on gold fill (gold overlay), check out the explanation provided by artisanplating.com.metal allergiesan allergic reaction to nickel is one of the most common metal allergies that you or your jewelry customers may experience. people with slight nickel allergies can usually wear surgical stainless steel for a few hours, or possibly all day. but some people are so sensitive that they cannot even wear watches, or have the buttons on their levi's touch their skin. for nickel-allergic people, we suggest sterling silver earring findings, niobium, titanium earring findings, and nonmetal earring findings."nickel free" can be a confusing term since items marked nickel free are allowed to contain a tiny, but still measurable, amount of nickel (huh? read on...). there is not yet a us standard for the amount of nickel allowed in jewelry components. the european union's standard, typically called the eu nickel directive, limits the amount of nickel that may be released onto the skin from jewelry and other products. these "migration limits" are different from measuring the percentage of nickel that exists in an alloy's composition. the uk has adopted the eu nickel directive as its nickel standard. if you have customers in the uk or eu – or if you want to start marketing your jewelry in those countries – you'll want to comply with the eu nickel directive. more nickel-free & nickel directive info.hypoallergenic is a popular marketing term, but has no legal definition. when your customers request hypoallergenic jewelry, we sugggest you direct them to nickel-free options instead. for more about the term "hypoallergenic" and a variety of excellent options to minimize allergic reactions, see our blog post "surgical stainless steel and hypoallergenic metals". one thing that makes this more complicated is that metal allergies are just like food and other allergies -- not everyone is allergic to the same thing. patinas & oxidizersa patina is a corrosion or oxidation that takes place on a metal surface. rust on iron is one example; tarnish on silver is another. patinas often form naturally by long exposure, but can also be created artificially for an antiqued (a.k.a. distressed) look.antiquing solutions (a.k.a. oxidizers) are frequently used by jewelry makers to add a patina to metal beads, charms and findings. rings & things carries solutions that give a deep black patina or a brown-black patina. each can be used on a variety of metals. before using an antiquing solution, be sure to read the directions and safety precautions, and follow them carefully!if you like to experiment with your own patinas and decorative metal finishes, we recommend these books:the complete metalsmith, by tim mccreightjeweler's directory of decorative finishes, by jinks mcgrathantiquing souvenir pennies with liver of sulphur gel.about jewelry-making materialsfree jewelry-making tutorials (no login required)shop www.rings-things.com

using master alloys by themselves

hi everyone, i’m a student at the university of vermont studying metalwork and jewelry. i was wondering if it is possible to use a master alloy by itself for casting instead of mixing with whatever karat gold one normally would. i don’t have the money to buy gold or colored gold so i thought this might be a way to work with colored metal. i wasn’t sure if it would be structurally sound. particularly, i am looking at the red and green master alloys in the rio catalog. thanks! adam
