Ig. Erusalimchik et Ss. Moiseev, ELECTROCHEMICAL AND CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF GOLD AND ITS ALLOYS .3. 18-CARAT GOLD-COPPER-SILVER ALLOYS IN HYDROCHLORIC-ACID SOLUTIONS, Protection of metals, 32(2), 1996, pp. 126-129
Electrochemical and corrosion behavior of 18-carat gold-copper-silver
alloys in hydrochloric acid solutions is studied. The processes procee
ding on the alloys are found to differ substantially from those typica
l of 24-carat gold. A supposition on the character of electrochemical
processes that predetermine the corrosion behavior of these alloys is
proposed.
