Pure gold, being too soft for all ordinary purposes, is generally alloyed with other metals. Silver and copper are principal alloys used, although iron is used in small quantities for different purposes. Pure silver has a brilliant white color and is whitest of all metals. No metal surpasses silver in its luster and hardness it ranges between pure gold and pure copper. It is more fusible than copper or gold, melting at a bright red heat or at 1873F. It is commonly used for purpose of alloying gold in its pure state, but if too much is added it makes gold pale. Pure copper is only metal that has a reddish appearance. It is both malleable and ductile; hence it is very useful as an alloy for gold.
