Gold Plating Over Low Percentage of Gold Alloy
Oct 6, 2008
Hello,
We are goldsmith small enterprise that are looking for gold plating technology or equipment to coat low percentage gold alloy (25-30% content of gold jewelry), so the color of the gold jewelry will last longer at least 3 - 5 years wearing it everyday.
Does anyone know the technology or equipment to do it. I want to purchase the plating equipment if it's available. Does anyone know of PVD Titanium nitrides over 25 - 30% of gold alloy for jewelry or any other suggestions for increasing the wearability/durability of gold color ?
Best regards,

HI,
First of all PVD system is very costly, I think for you 20 liters capacity tanks are ok for starting.
Search on internet there are so many companies.
Good luck.
