Sorry, I made a mistake in my response. One of the main reasons metals are added to gold is actually to make it stronger and more durable. This is known as alloying gold. The addition of metals like copper, silver, zinc, or nickel can change the properties of gold to better suit specific applications, such as jewelry making or industrial uses.
