AgAu is a silver-gold alloy combining two of the most noble and ductile metals, typically employed in applications where corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and aesthetic properties are simultaneously valued. This alloy is primarily used in jewelry, electronics, and specialized dental and medical applications where biocompatibility and tarnish resistance are critical. Engineers select AgAu alloys over pure silver when enhanced durability and wear resistance are needed, or over gold when cost must be reduced without sacrificing the material's resistance to oxidation and chemical attack.
