-----
Gold migration or gold plating temperature resistance
Presently, we manufacture electrical contacts that have a beryllium copper base metal plated with a gold over a nickel underplate. Will the gold plate migrate if the temperature gets sufficiently high over an extended period? At what temperature will this occur?
