How to get gold color with brass when done acid wash
Q. I am manufacturer of brass anklets. I am getting the raw material here in our place and it gives gold color when acid wash is done. I would like to know the composition of gold colored brass. What is the composition of copper and zinc to get gold color ? Are there any other alloys included in this ? I request you kindly help me in this matter for which I would be very thankful to you.

Q. Hi. Is it possible to achieve rose gold color brass or bronze alloy, not with plating solution but as casting alloy, without any use of pure Au?
Thanks, Silvio.
