Hi Dennis,

    My experience with 18k nickel white gold alloys is that they are as
    springy as precious metal can get. try making a part then heat to
    annealing temp briefly (just a few seconds) and quench a bit
    prematurely if that isn't hard enough for you you can work harden in
    a pin finisher or hammer it a little. 

Bruce
