The washed slime is dried and melted to produce slag and metal. The slag is usually purified by selective reduction and smelted to produce antimonial lead. The metal is treated ia the molten state by selective oxidation for the removal of arsenic, antimony, and some of the lead. It is then transferred to a cupel furnace, where the oxidation is continued until only the silver—gold alloy (dorn) remains. The bismuth-rich cupel slags are cmshed, mixed with a small amount of sulfur, and reduced with carbon to a copper matte and impure bismuth metal the latter is transferred to the bismuth refining plant. 

Niokel and iron combine and form a very hard alloy, which is that found in meteoric stones. 1 Cobalt, copper, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, and. other more rare metals, all combine in small proportions with iron, producing alloys of no known. value in the arts. 

Since the appearance of the Brenner s paper27 in 1947, electroless deposition was extensively studied for many industrial applications. The most investigated systems by far include nickel, copper, silver, gold, and related alloys. 

Sodium is also used, especially in alloys with potassium, as a heat-exchange liquid in fast breeder nuclear reactors. Sodium alloys with calcium, lead, copper, silver, gold, zinc, cadmium, and mercury are also industrially formed and used.

Metal powder—glass powder—binder mixtures are used to apply conductive (or resistive) coatings to ceramics or metals, especially for printed circuits and electronics parts on ceramic substrates, such as multichip modules. Multiple layers of aluminum nitride [24304-00-5] AIN, or aluminay ceramic are fused with copper sheet and other metals in powdered form. The mixtures are appHed as a paste, paint, or slurry, then fired to fuse the metal and glass to the surface while burning off the binder. Copper, palladium, gold, silver, and many alloys are commonly used. 

Betts Electrolytic Process. The Betts process starts with lead bullion, which may carry tin, silver, gold, bismuth, copper, antimony, arsenic, selenium, teUurium, and other impurities, but should contain at least 90% lead (6,7). If more than 0.01% tin is present, it is usually removed from the bullion first by means of a tin-drossing operation (see Tin AND TIN ALLOYS, detinning). The lead bullion is cast as plates or anodes, and numerous anodes are set in parallel in each electrolytic ceU. Between the anodes, thin sheets of pure lead are hung from conductor bars to form the cathodes. Several ceUs are connected in series. 

Gold Casting and Wrought Alloys. Gold alloys useful ki dentistry may contaki gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, kidium, copper, nickel, tin, kon, and zkic. Other metals occasionally are found ki minor amounts. The effect of each of the constituents is empirical, but some observations have been made. 

Type I, soft alloys (20—22-carat golds), are used for inlays of simpler non-stress-bearing types. Type I gold alloys can be burnished, and are not heat-treatable. They are composed essentially of gold—silver—copper with minor modifying additions, eg, zinc. 

Most simple inorganic salt solutions cause virtually no attack on aluminium-base alloys, unless they possess the qualities required for pitting corrosion, which have been considered previously, or hydrolyse in solution to give acid or alkaline reactions, as do, for example, aluminium, ferric and zinc chlorides. With salts of heavy metals —notably copper, silver, and gold —the heavy metal deposits on to the aluminium, where it subsequently causes serious bimetallic corrosion.

Alloy samples weighing either 100 or 25 g. were prepared by melting weighed amounts of lead and thallium together. The c. p. granular test lead, free from silver, gold and bismuth (Fisher Scientific Company), was indicated by spectroscopic examination to contain approximately 0-005 % iron, 0-001 % thallium and 0-001 % copper. The thallium used was supplied by the Varlacoid Company. Spectroscopic examination showed the presence of approximately 0-01 % lead, 0-005 % iron, and 0-001 % copper.

For equipment handling acetylene the pure metals, or alloys containing copper, silver, mercury, gold, must be avoided to prevent the formation of explosive acetylides.
