The following is from Alfred M. Weisberg in Gold Plating Technology -
Electrochemical Publications Limited.
Generally accepted values of the more important properties of bulk gold are listed
in the following compilation, together with some characteristics of
electrodeposited gold and the more frequently deposited gold alloys. It should
be borne in mind, however, that the properties of electrodeposited metal may
differ from those pertaining to the bulk material, due to differences in structure,
the presence of occluded material, and so on. For a similar reason properties
measured for electrodeposited alloys of the same nominal composition produced
from different electrolytes may also show variations, depending on the plating
conditions, method of measurement, etc.
