Description

Au-alloy and preparation method thereof
The present invention relates to a kind of au-alloy and preparation method thereof.
Au-alloy is used in ornament and the jewellery, as ring, necklace and wrist-watch, is used for nib, dental material, also can be used in medicine, electronics and the metrical instrument.
Because high-grade au-alloy is softer usually, in making and using, be vulnerable to damage by its ornament made and jewellery, therefore make to be difficult to keep its essential high-quality outward appearance.For example the micro-vickers hardness HV of fine bullion is approximately 25.Therefore, for gold charms and gold ornaments such as ring and necklace, used so-called 18K and 14K au-alloy, these alloys are hardened by the silver (Ag) that adds 25-40% weight, copper (Cu) etc.
In Japanese unexamined patent publication number No.7-70671, a kind of method that purity is at least the high rigidity gold of 99% weight for preparing is disclosed, this method may further comprise the steps: provide purity to be at least the proof gold of 99% weight, in proof gold, add the element that can improve its hardness and intensity on a small quantity, by for example wire drawing gold is carried out plastic working then.
As for 18K recited above and 14K au-alloy, be at least the metallographic ratio of 99% weight with purity, the grade of au-alloy has descended, and causes for example reduction of aspects such as gloss, gold, magnetism, texture and high-quality outward appearance.Therefore, need to resist the so-called 24K au-alloy that sustains damage in a kind of can and the use in manufacturing, this au-alloy has the high value the same with proof gold.
Disclosed high rigidity gold in the open No.7-70671 of Japanese unexamined patent publication No. has a problem, is exactly that gold will pass through degree of depth plastic working, as wire drawing.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of high-grade au-alloy, it just can harden under the situation of degree of depth plastic working such as wire drawing, and it has high-quality outward appearance and the tone identical with proof gold.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of method for preparing high-grade au-alloy, it adds a spot of special elements in proof gold, make au-alloy under the situation of not losing the gloss same with proof gold, gold, magnetism, texture and high-quality outward appearance, hardness increases.
The result that the inventor experimentizes shows that a kind of high-grade au-alloy can hardened, and has high-quality outward appearance and the tone identical with conventional proof gold under the situation of degree of depth plastic working such as wire drawing etc.
In the present invention, can be by comprising by weight: at least 0.06%Co, 0.03%Ge, surplus are that at least 99% the gold and the au-alloy of incidental impurities make top desired au-alloy at least, and this au-alloy can harden under without the situation of degree of depth plastic working such as wire drawing, also has high-quality outward appearance and tone.
That is to say that au-alloy of the present invention comprises by weight: at least 0.06%Co, 0.03%Ge, surplus are at least 99% gold and incidental impurities at least.
Au-alloy of the present invention comprises by weight: at least 0.06%Co, 0.03Ge, surplus are at least 99.9% gold and incidental impurities at least, it and 24K alloy type seemingly, but owing to its high commodity value, it is more desirable.
Method according to a kind of so high-grade au-alloy of preparation of the present invention may further comprise the steps: by melting technology and cast, make the au-alloy ingot with above-mentioned composition, carry out solution heat treatment then on demand, carry out ageing treatment again.
According to the method for preparing au-alloy of the present invention, wherein au-alloy comprises by weight: at least 0.06%Co, 0.03%Ge, surplus are that at least 99.9% gold and incidental impurities are preferred at least, because the preparation method of au-alloy and 24K alloy are roughly the same, but its commodity value wants high.
Ageing treatment is preferably carried out 10-60 minute under 300 ℃ of-500 ℃ of temperature, and solution heat treatment is preferably carried out at least 700 ℃ temperature.
Interpolation Co and Ge are for the softer proof gold that hardens in au-alloy of the present invention.When ageing treatment, au-alloy is hardened because of the synergy of these two kinds interpolation components.For this purpose, require Co content to be at least 0.06% weight, Ge content is at least 0.03% weight.This is because if if Co content is lower than 0.06% weight and Ge content is lower than 0.03% weight, then hardening effect (above-mentioned synergy) can not demonstrate fully.
If Au content is lower than 99% weight, then Jin grade has just reduced.
In the method for preparing au-alloy according to the present invention, use melting method to obtain the au-alloy ingot, comprise by weight at least 0.06%Co, 0.03%Ge, surplus are at least 99% gold and incidental impurities at least.Then au-alloy is carried out ageing treatment with the sclerosis au-alloy.
When although aging temperature hangs down, gained au-alloy hardness is higher, because low temperature aging needs the longer time, therefore on production efficiency, low temperature is not preferred.Therefore selecting aging temperature is 300 ℃ or higher, if ageing treatment is carried out being higher than under 500 ℃, then can not obtain because the hardness of timeliness gained.Therefore, ageing treatment must be carried out under 500 ℃ or lower temperature.
The time of ageing treatment is along with the composition of alloy and aging temperature is different and different.Because generally speaking, the timeliness effect is too low and just enough when reaching 60 minutes when being lower than 10 minutes.Therefore select time is suitable in 10-60 minute scope.
There is such situation,, has the obvious segregation of Co and Ge, carry out ageing treatment above-mentioned, just may not obtain enough sclerosis if still resemble for example for big cast product.Therefore, before ageing treatment, carry out the segregation of solution heat treatment earlier, thereby fully realize sclerosis by the ageing treatment generation with elimination Co and Ge.Carry out under the temperature of solution heat treatment solid solution in gold at Co and Ge.Because temperature is high more, the time that obtains sosoloid is short more, and angle considers that comparatively high temps is preferred from enhancing productivity.Although solution heat treatment temperature is different and different with forming, it is at least 700 ℃ usually.
In order alloy to be shaped to shape of product and to obtain desired product hardness, can before or after carrying out above-mentioned solution heat treatment and ageing treatment, carry out plastic working such as wire drawing or rolling suitably.
