    First you can search the orchid archives, the search terms to use are
    "age hardening", "precipitation hardening" and "heat hardening". They
    all are the same thing, but they are not all mentioned together in
    the literature. The best written reference for you to get is
    Brepohl's " The Theory and Practice of Goldsmithing"

    http://www.ganoksin.com/jewelry-books/us/product/961598492.htm 

    Not cheap but has lots of other information you will use. Here the
    subject is called age hardening-- metallurgists will call it
    precipitation hardening. The process requires an appropriate alloy --
    a pure metal won't do.
