My point is gold was judged by its carat value and is the item solid or merely plated. Then someone figured how to get tungsten in gold bars and coins. Now with this, it’s just something else to have to watch out for. That’s it.

No, it will still be 18K, and it will still contain 75% gold. Although it is possible to sinter it with Tungsten Carbide to give it the heft of full gold. . . with greater hardness. However, it will not have the color property of full gold under this system. Testing for it will be easy.
