[Jewelry making - Article 01012] - [Orchid] Mokume gane with Argentium

    I'm wondering whether anyone has tried bonding Argentium with other
    metals, especially gold alloys, in a mokume gane billet (I'm hoping
    James Binnion has). If so, has anyone determined the temperature at
    which the eutectic point would be reached? I was thinking that,
    since the Argentium mills more closely to gold alloys than standard
    sterling silver, then perhaps it may suit better for mokume gane
    applications.
