Gold properties when plated from sulfite bath

Anybody can give me some idea of physical properties of plated gold from a sulfite bath? I am looking for information such as microhardness (HK or HV), youngs' modulus, etc. Thanks.

"The Properties of Electrodeposited Metals and Alloys"
by William Safranek

on AbeBooks

or eBay or

Amazon

(affil links)

I would recommend that you purchase "Properties of Electrodeposited Metals and Alloys" a handbook, second edition, Wm H. Safranek author.

This will let you compare lots of different types of gold plate. This is a lifetime type reference book that should be had by any firm using electroplating.
