Alloys composed of 35.5 to 62.5 % silver, 4.1 to 11.0 % indium, 5 to 37.0 %gold, 0 to 40.0 % platinum, 0 to 35 % palladium, 0 to 9.5 % zinc, tin,gallium, copper, 0 to 2.0 % iridium, rhenium, rhodium, ruthenium, 0 to 5.0 %boron, cobalt, chromium, iron, germanium, niobium, nickel, silicon, tantalum,titanium, manganese, vanadium, the indicated percentages being percentages byweight. On one hand, such alloys are inexpensive, and on the other hand, theirphysical properties with respect to the coefficient of thermal expansion makethem suitable for veneering. Furthermore, they show a desired yellowish colourand improved corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
