Hello everybody,
After Oleg reported some time ago that he feels that the anode wire we're using is producing an surprising amount of gold dust compared to other wire he used. I now heard from Mihai that they discovered that on large portions of the anode wire they are using the gold plating is (partially) missing. I just discussed this with Joerg, but we were both not really sure whether this is a problem. So the question to the experts:
For what is the gold plating needed, except for soldering the wire. And what is the opinion whether anode wire with missing gold plating could be used?
Of course there is still always the question whether gold dust (which as Mihai remarked correctly will also stay on the wire) or gold plating hanging off the wire (which would also be imaginable) would not be nice.

Please respond if you have any experience or opinion. This is becoming a rather urgent issue.
thanks,
Clemens
