What is the Gold Play Button REALLY made of?!?

  • The TH-cam Gold Play Button is one of the most coveted awards a TH-camr can get. Is it really made of gold? Is the Silver Play button really made out of silver? There is only one way to find out. Watch as we take the Gold and Silver play buttons from the TH-cam channel WhatsInside, and stick them deep inside a $750,000 Electron Microscope that will give us the exact elemental make up of the Gold Play button.
    This is the SAME play button that was cut in half by the Whatsinside TH-cam channel: • What's inside the YouT...
    And HERE on Casey Neistats Vlog: • DESTROYING GOLD PLAY B...
    The Gold Play Button is given to TH-camrs who reach 1 Million subscribers.
    The Silver Play Button is given to TH-camrs who reach 100k subscribers.
    There is another award for the few TH-camrs who reach 10 Million subscribers... Let me know if you have one, and we can asses the elemental make up ;-)
    The Video talks about several different scenarios, but the main point is that the Gold Play button DOES contain REAL GOLD! Which is amazing.
    This video was shot entirely with a Galaxy S7 Edge, and an iPhone 7 Plus. (The computer screen shots were the one filmed with an iPhone. It handled the monitor flicker better, but the audio on iPhone is crap.)

    My uncle used to run a gold plating business that ran parts for many different companies including Hewitt Packard at one point. He commented that this is an extremely common issue with gold plating since the brass will not plate properly directly to gold(nor will it have much wear resistance) it is first plated with Nickel and then plated with the composition of Gold requested by the company the Nickel is typically by far the thicker coating for various reasons and will show up in an electron microscope either if the gold is not plated on thick enough or has been worn down his thought on this was that the gold had simply been worn down slightly judging by the state of the play button and that is what is causing the nickel and zinc to show through. this does show that you would need to re plate the piece if you wanted it to last a particularly long time and both front and back are plated to help with corrosion resistance. If you want the part to be safe from oxidization you may want to re plate the parts that were cut or worn down in the front.

    Great video! This is actually the lab where I work. So here is some analysis. The beam that you were using for the front was a 20 kV beam (you can see that on the video if you pause it too). At that energy the beam will penetrate approximately 1.162 microns into the surface. For the back you used 10 kV which penetrates approximately 0.41 microns, thus the discrepancy in the concentrations could have been largely due to the difference in beam energies. Now, how gold plating works, is that you first put down a barrier metal to prevent the gold from migrating into the core material. The most common used metal is Nickel, which is exactly what you found. Now depending on the type of plating used there are going to be different thicknesses of gold plating. If they used Gold Flash or Gold Electroplate then the layer thickness would be about 0.175 microns and if they used Gold Plate then it is approximately 0.5 microns. So being that the beam only penetrated 0.41 microns on the front it is most like they used Gold Electroplate (or Gold plating and it wore off). I would expect Gold Electroplate since more recent electroplating techniques are not only cheaper but also more durable. For silver, I'm sure they didn't use silver because it tarnishes and turns black from oxidation. So in the best interest of the customer, they used a metal just as shiny that didn't need to be polished regularly.

    • @JerryRigEverything
      @JerryRigEverything  7 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      Awesome catch with that beam penetration. We realized this as well during filming. So we went back and fixed the shot. You'll notice at 3:38 there is a jump cut. At that cut, I move from explaining the images shot at 20kV, but I show the weights from the 10 kV shot. So the information I SAY and show in the video are correct, the 20 kV image was essentially B-Roll film before we fixed the beam. So to summarize, what you see in the video: 15.4% Au is at the 10 kV beam. You are also correct, you can see at 3:31 if you pause at the right spot, Au is 6.2% with the 20 kV beam. That's when we realized we had a discrepancy and fixed it.
      Observant though. I'm impressed. Interesting information about the gold plating.

    • @bobbykerns8795
      @bobbykerns8795 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The discrepancy in concentration is because the SEM operator collected the topside spectrum at a working distance of 7.7mm, and then collected the bottomside spectrum at 11.4mm. That specific microscope is designed with the EDS detector pointing at 10mm, and that is where the collection efficiency (as a function of solid-angle collection) is maximum. The 7.7mm spectrum is farther from the optimum plane than the 11.4mm spectrum, creating an apparent difference in concentration. It's all just measurement error. I'd imagine that the amounts would match more closely if you tried at 10mm WD.

    Just watched the video, thought it was interesting as I am a specialist in electron microscopy. I think I know why they didn't see as much gold as they expected.
    Basically, when the beam of electrons hits the sample, the actually enter the sample, going anywhere to 10 microns (or 0.01 mm) into the sample (depending on the beam energy and sample). Most of the X-rays that are generated (and used to identify the elements) come from deeper into the sample.
    The gold coating could be as thin as a few hundred nanometres. That is 0.0001 mm! that means most of the signal the X-ray detector pics up comes from the sub-surface layer, which is not gold.
    Basically, you can have a very pure gold surface coating that is *so thin* that it doesn't register very well with a conventional detector setup. But its still *pure* and therefore 24k gold.

    Little late to the game, but the play button is electroplated with nickel to act is a diffusion barrier to keep the gold on the exterior and the bronze on the inside. To add even more protection they'll sometimes add palladium as well. Without the diffusion layer, the gold, copper, and zinc would migrate and mix together.

    Lots of metals don't "like" to stick to each other, so plated metals typically have multiple layers.
    The Silver button has an aluminum core and nickel finish, but the nickel doesn't "like" aluminum, so it's got a layer of copper in between (which "sticks" to both).
    The Gold Play button is brass (copper & zinc, which gold doesn't "like"), so a middle layer of nickel, followed by the gold exterior.
    The electron microscope is identifying multiple layers of metal, hence the mixed results.

    • @calangel
      @calangel 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well Christopher, if have to disagree about one thing. In reality, gold, copper, and zinc mix pretty well. Nickel and gold DO NOT mix well at ambient temperatures, and typically metallurgists use grain refiners and intermediaries like copper to get them to stay together. The silver play button is essentially a big nickel.
      The nickel layers are likely for a simple purpose, probably to create a harder surface.

    I thought he was going to cut open his OWN gold play button. If he did I wouldn't have been surprised, it probably would have also scratched at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7.

      No, they were expecting the outer layer to be 24kt because that's what it says on the actual button. It's not 24kt, that's a little surprising.

    • @seigeengine
      @seigeengine 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Assuming the electron microscope was accurately reading the surface, it should be 100% gold, since it's meant to be plated in 24k gold.
      I'm guessing the penetration is picking up a nickle layer underneath the gold.

    The gold plating isn't exactly 24KT, but it is definately a gold plating. and you cant really blame them for making the silver play button nickel because if it wsa silver it would tarnish and nobody wants to see an oxidized silver trophy.

      Tarnished silver isn't oxidized. It's due to a reaction with sulfur in the air.

    • @seigeengine
      @seigeengine 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Remember how the silver one was nickel on the surface, but not underneath? That's because it was plated with nickle to look all nice and shiny and silver. The gold button is almost certainly brass with a nickle plating, and THEN a gold plating. The nickle layer makes the gold really shiny and bright without having to have a much thicker gold layer. The electron microscope penetrates the surface a little, so is probably picking up on both the gold plating on the surface, and the nickle layer underneath. That is, it IS 24 karat gold.

    • @jimenezdecosta8478

      I've had a silver ring for years that i dont wear because its ugly and dont sell because it was 80$ and i get 20$ for it. Its still as silver as it was when i bought it or it seems like it. If the ring can be that good the button can be that good.

    • @seigeengine
      @seigeengine 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Silver tarnishes over time with exposure to air. It's quite obvious because the tarnish is black. This can't be prevented without sealing the silver from air exposure. There are ways to do that, but they wear away over time and mean you're not actually looking at silver when you look at the thing. If your silver has held up for years, it's probably just not silver.

    the surface was probably finely polished to make it glossy, rubbing off some of the gold plating. maybe thats why theres more gold on the unpolished back.
