Metal Porosity: The Goldsmith's Hidden Enemy
Have you ever looked at an Aero chocolate bar? Its honeycomb structure is a perfect visual representation of a problem that plagues the jewellery industry: metal porosity.
Imagine crafting a beautiful piece of jewellery, only to discover tiny holes or voids within the metal. It's like finding a worm in an apple - a frustrating and time-consuming problem. Porosity, those pesky little holes, can weaken the metal, affect its appearance, and ultimately lead to a piece being rejected.
It's a challenge that goldsmiths have been battling for centuries, and despite advancements in technology, it's a problem that still persists. While not impossible to overcome, it's a constant battle for perfection.
