Good Day to All ,
Snail ,
please accept my apologies for a non reply , my
behaviour was inexcusable .
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I had actually
theorised that Titanium would harden Gold and give
it much greater durability [ scratch resistance ].
Wow , as little as 0.5 % , to get 18 k in gold hardness.
Here I was about to cook in around 20 to 50 % Titanium.
Well time to get down and actually do the deed.
Thanks a million .
Khaimraj
