Unusual gold and steel alloy (4 replies and 2 comments)

I was wondering if somebody might be so kind to help me by answering this question-

Is it technically or theoretically possible to create an alloy consisting of 90% pure (24k) gold and 10% steel?
If it were forged in the right conditions, could this combination result in a true alloy?
Or would the mixture end up as a non-homogeneous compound no matter what?

Many thanks for your help.

Gold an iron alloys are difficult but not impossible to produce usually in the range of 1 to 5% iron. Aso to gold and steel, it would proboably depend on what steel (as steel is an alloy of iron, carbon and other metals).

Thank you SmartDog for the reply.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to find a Au-Fe phase diagram. Would you happen to have one?
