Cupelling Karat Gold (1 reply and 1 comment)
Please join and login to participate and leave a comment.
Hi forum members,
I can't seem to be able to find much information about cupelling karat gold, as in 10k rings, for example. At what temperature should I cupel a 10k gold ring? I've noticed a few posts mentioning that gold should be cupelled at a temperature between 1700f to 1850f but since this is below the melting point of gold, wouldn't the button freeze in the cupel before all the lead has been removed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
