Making Wire

As with most production, making wire starts with the melting of the gold, silver or platinum.  Here the gold is in the crucible in the induction furnace and has mostly melted.  However, if you look closely, you can see on the top of the melt some scrap pieces from previous production that haven’t quite completely melted.  Melts for production may contain left over gold from previous manufacture, new pure (.9999+) gold with other metals (alloys) or a combination of both.
