Studies were made of the phase diagram and physical properties of gold-- ruthenium alloys with 0.5, 1, 2, and 3% Ru. Alloys with 1% Ru recrystallize with a peritectic reaction. The ruthenium-rich beta phase interacts to form a gold- base alpha solid solution. Ruthenium diffusion in gold does not exceed 1%, diminishing at lower temperatures. Admixtures of less than 1% Ru change the thermoelectric and electric properties of gold by reducing the temperature coefficient of electric resistance. The addition of 0.5% Ru affects plasticity and rupture strength without changing hardness. (R.V.J.)
