CRD wouldn't gold just melt at that temperature? Cherry red steel is about 850 degrees if I remember correctly. You get steel there and then you quench it.

Gold melts a just over 1000 degrees Celsius. I often have to anneal gold in order to remove temper in order to work on it. During the annealing process I get it to a cherry red state almost to the point of melting.Originally Posted by Cattle/Horses

I'm going to try it on scrap. My concern would be brittelness. If it works it'd be great for wedding bands.
