Solution:

All of the above problems are solved by "Gold / Silver Engineer™". Gold / Silver Engineer™ is an efficient program that will solve all the above problems and many, many more!

Gold / Silver Engineer™ comes with an extensive online help and tutorials to eliminate all learning curves that comes with a new software product. The well designed interface makes it very easy to find and use features in Gold / Silver Engineer™. Before you know it - you will be a "Gold / Silver Engineer™" expert.

Gold Alloys and solders can contain nested alloys. For example, we can create a whole set of common library alloys such as silicon-copper, compos and various brass metals and use these alloys within our Gold Alloy and solders. For instance, if we edit the 18 carat Gold with compo (White) then we see that it contains Gold, Orange Compo., Copper, Nickel and Zinc. Orange compo is actually a nested alloy.

All units used in Gold / Silver Engineer™ for measuring Gold content are measured Carat and its decimal equivalent. All weight measurements are measured in metric units (mg, g and Kg) and Troy units (OZ Troy, Dwts and Grs). Units can be changed and mixed on the ‘fly’.

Gold / Silver Engineer™ provides database management for Gold Alloys, Silver Alloys and solders, efficiently performs complex calculations like Master Alloy calculations, Gold and Master Alloy calculations, Silver and Master Alloy calculations, stand alone Element composition calculations. The weight and percentage of each element is calculated on the fly. The true gold carat for each calculation or the silver content is also displayed.

Figure 1 shows the amount of Fine Gold, Orange Compo., Copper, Nickel and Zinc that would be required if we wanted to make 60 grams of 18ct Gold with compo (White).

Figure 1

Figure 1 shows the individual percentages and weights that must be added to make 60 grams of 18 carat Gold with compo (White) Master Alloy. However, Figure 2 shows the percentages and weights of each individual elements in the Gold Alloy. You can break down nested library alloys into the respective elements by checking the 'display elements only' checkbox.

Figure 2

Figure 2 shows the individual percent and weights of the elements that must be added to make 60 grams of the 18 carat Gold with compo (White) Master Alloy. Note that the nested library alloys shown in Figure 1 have been broken down into the respective elements.

Gold / Silver Engineer™ makes it possible to calculate Gold Alloy and Silver Alloy compositions by working backwards. For example, what amount of 18 carat Gold with compo (White) must be manufactured to only contain only 20 grams of Nickel? What is the composition of the elements within the 18 carat Gold? By selecting on the 'Enter weight by single element or library alloy' radio button it is possible to calculate such computations. Figure 3 shows the results to this problem

Figure 3

Figure 3 shows that if you wanted to manufacture 18 carat Gold with compo (White) to only contain 20 grams of Nickel then you would need to make 49.5 grams of Master Alloy.

Gold / Silver Engineer™ allows you to raise the carat content of Gold Alloys and solders by calculating the amount of Fine Gold that must be added to get the desired carat. Gold / Silver Engineer also allows you to lower the carat content of the Gold Alloys and solders by calculating the amount of Master Alloy that must be added to get the desired carat.

Gold / Silver Engineer™ allows you to raise the Silver content of Silver Alloys and solders by calculating the amount of Silver that must be added to get the desired silver content. Gold / Silver Engineer™ also allows you to lower the Silver content of the Silver Alloys and solders by calculating the amount of Master Alloy that must be added to get the desired silver content.

Download the free Gold / Silver Engineer™ to perform calculations such as raising the carat content of Gold Alloys, Silver Alloys and Solders by the addition of Fine Gold or pure silver.

Gold / Silver Engineer™ also provides Manufacturing cost and Sales cost support. Calculations include many variables which may be altered to accurately calculate the cost of Gold Alloys and Solders as presented in real life situations. Gold / Silver Engineer™ also provides support for modifying the element cost database. Changing the cost element of one element will automatically update the Gold Alloy or Solder cost per gram, the Manufacturing cost and Sales cost. This is a very powerful feature as the cost of individual cost of elements is always changing...

Gold / Silver Engineer™ can perform Specific Gravity conversions quickly and accurately. It is as simple as selecting the known Alloy or Element and typing in its measured weight. Then selecting any unknown Alloy or Element you will have the converted weight result. Gold / Silver Engineer™ also provides support for you to add new Specific Gravity constants if you find there is an Gold Alloy, Silver Alloy, Solder or Element missing from the Specific Gravity database.
