Diffuse + reflection should never be greater than one, and your ambient value
seems too high. Ambient should scale down with diffuse as reflection
increases--i.e., the ambient-to-diffuse ratio should be the same for all
textures in a given scene.
RC3Metal in the Object Collection ( http://lib.povray.org/ ) will do these
adjustments for you, as well as coordinating specular, roughness, and
brilliance.
According to Clipka (one of the POV-Ray developers), realistic metals should
have ambient 0 diffuse 0 and use blurred reflection. Blurred reflection is not
built into POV-Ray, but it is available with UberPOV and RC3Metal. The
knowledge base (
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Knowledgebase:POV-Ray_Questions_and_Tips )
describes a technique for blurred reflection, but it can trigger eternal render
times if you're not careful. This problem is also remedied in RC3Metal.
(Do not use metals.inc and golds.inc as models. Those files were written for
ancient versions of POV-Ray and are essentially obsolete.)
