Overview
In a number of high-tech applications, engineers need to specify gold.
Gold as a Lubricant
This
might, for example, be because they need a great lubricating material and gold has been
used as lubricant in a number of engineering applications based on its
resistance to cold welding.
Gold Brazing Alloys
In another field, gold–based brazing alloys are used in industrial brazing,
offering improved resistance to oxidation, good mechanical properties of joints
at elevated temperatures, and excellent corrosion resistance in challenging
environments.
Gold in Architectural Glazing
It has also been used as a thin coating in building glazing to
reflect heat radiation, keeping buildings cool in summer and warmer in
winter.
