I had someone ask today, and didn't know the answer - what percentage of gold is actually contained in the Titanium Gold plating on pen kits?
Any ideas?

Lou has it right! Perhaps a visit to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_nitride) might help straighten things out for you since Bruce is probably knee deep in making rings with his fancy schmancy CNC center.Originally posted by Rifleman1776
My local jewler told me the natural color of titanium is grey. I have seen human body replacement parts (e.g. hips) made of titanium that were polished silver in appearance.

Looks like you are confusing titanium which is a metal with titanium nitride which according to Wikipedia is a ceramic, not a metal.
I wonder how many here are selling their "Titanium Gold" pens as "Gold plated" pens not knowing the difference?

Gold is soft.
Titanium isn't.
Want gold or durable, can't have both!

my understanding is that Tn plating is applied so it is very rough in texture and not fully polished then a gold plating is applied over that so that as the gold wears the peaks of the Tn are exposed making for a more durable surface.
