This master alloy is suitable for the production of 18 ct white gold stamped items, solid and hollow chain, earrings, bracelets, tube rings, and investment cast articles with or without precious stones (Ni20Zn12). Rhodium plating is recommended; however, the final decision is left to the producer. The gold alloy is particularly suitable for hardening. During plastic deformation, the gold alloy is suitable for both mould and continuous casting. All the most common investment casting techniques can be used. Genia 106 is sold by the gram.
