Tungsten gold plated bar is a kind of collection and commemorative gift which refers to plate a gold layer on the tungsten alloy bar’s surface (in most cases it is plated with 24K gold), so as to make it beautiful and similar to gold. Tungsten gold plated bar has high wear resistance and corrosion resistance therefore can be long preserved without damage.
Tungsten alloy bar’s manufacturing materials can be divided into W-Ni-Cu and W-Ni-Fe, but the tungsten gold plated bar is using W-Ni-Cu as its raw material, the tungsten content can be more than 95%, so that its density can be similar to gold. But the pure tungsten has high brittleness so it needs to add a small amount of nickel and copper in order to be better manufactured in to various crafts, gifts, collections for people to play.
Due to its high similar appearance and hand feeling to gold, tungsten gold plated bar is to be called as “gold alternative”, but it can not replace gold in the aspect of hedging value. It is commonly used as craft, collection or gift to bear and convey people’s emotions. It was because of its lower value than gold, so it can replace real gold to be showed in the counter display in the gold store, for greatly reducing the economic loss caused by theft, damage or robbing.
