Binary Eutectic Gold Alloys - Melting Point Data
The melting point of an alloy depends on the proportions of its constituent metals. A eutectic mixture represents the specific composition where the melting point is at its minimum possible value for that system.
The following table details the composition and melting points for common binary eutectic alloys with gold (Au).
