On November 8th 2013, we went on an
exciting field trip to a gold manufacturing unit where I was amazed to see and
learn how gold jewellery is made. It’s not made of pure gold because pure gold
could break easily so they add 8 % of other metals like copper and silver to it
to make it strong. They mix all the three metals and melt it together, then
they put it in the mould to get the shape and then insert the jewels.

Before I went to gold manufacturing unit, I knew
nothing about how to mould gold, melt it and use it. After the trip, I learnt
that gold has to be mixed with metals to make it stronger. They melted together
to liquefy it and then moulded it in a container with required shape. Once it
is cooled, they put it in cooler which cools and cleans it and later it gets
polished and stones get added to it to beautify it.

It was fun to see the process of gold being melted at
high temperature and later moulded and cooled to make it hard. The gold melted
was like hot lava. I also learnt how people add different materials to metals
to make them useful. Overall, the trip was cool.

Gold is melted in a furnace and I learnt that gold
melts at 1024 ° C. I learnt how they make beautiful designs with gold using
moulds with wax. It was really an interesting trip for me.
