The Truth of Tungsten Gold

Gold-plated tungsten alloy is a kind of product, which is plated gold on the surface of tungsten alloy. Due to the density of tungsten alloy can be up to 18.5g/cm3, which is close to the density of gold 19.3g/cm3, tungsten alloy materials can achieve similar density to the real gold products after gold plating process.

Nowadays gold-plated tungsten alloy products as gold substitution are widely used in producing golden tungsten brick, gold-plated tungsten alloy bars, gold-plated tungsten alloy bullion, gold-plated tungsten alloy nugget, etc. It also can be used to make tungsten alloy jewelry, e.g.: tungsten gold-plated ring, tungsten gold-plated ear ring, tungsten gold-plated necklace, tungsten gold-plated wrist chain, etc. In addition, gold-plated tungsten alloy products can also be used as gold-plated commemorative coin for anniversaries or celebrations.

With the wide development of gold-plated tungsten alloy technique, some cheaters made use of the clients’ weak awareness to distinguish the gold-plated from the real gold, they cheated tungsten gold is the gold-plated tungsten alloy or the real gold, which caused some fraud cases and led to a rather bad consumption environment. The tungsten gold frauds happened in these years, for example, the value of 170,000.00 RMB gold-plated tungsten alloy bars had been blown to be the value billions RMB of "tungsten gold" in 2008,cheaters cheated they owned billions RMB of tungsten gold in 2014, and the cheaters cheated an old acquaintance of 5 millions.

Tungsten gold is actually a kind of tungsten alloy. In order to match the sales of market, the exclusively title of “tungsten gold” was came up. It seems to be an exaggerated description of tungsten alloy. Actually, tungsten gold is the product that plating gold on the surface of tungsten alloy. The fake tungsten gold may be filled with other metal materials instead of tungsten alloy, which has the same surface with gold-plated tungsten alloy or the real gold.

There was a report said that there are so many counterfeits were disclosed by a random inspection of jewelry market in Guangzhou on June 5, 2015. It reported that most "Platinum" are not containing platinum, which caused lots of frauds cases in platinum market. In China, many people name “white gold” for Platinum, so some unscrupulous operators made use of such an ambiguous name, selling white metal as platinum products.

Consumers should have a sense to distinguish tungsten gold or real from gold-plated tungsten alloy, so as not to be cheated.
