Definitions

  • the invention relates to an alkaline bath for the electrodeposition of low-carat rosabis yellow-colored gold alloy layers containing soluble gold cyanide, soluble copper cyanide and potassium carbonate or potassium hydrogen carbonate. Corrosion-resistant layers in the range of 13 to 18 carats are deposited.
  • Baths which contain cadmium and chelating agents in addition to complex gold and copper cyanides have been used to produce low-carat pink and yellow-colored gold alloy coatings (DE-AS 22 21 159).
  • Such baths generally operate in a pH range of 7.5-12 and also contain free cyanide, conductive salts, such as. B. carbonates, and buffer salts, such as. B. Phosphates. They provide glossy pink or yellow alloy deposits of good quality in favorable working conditions.
  • these baths have the serious disadvantage that they contain cadmium, which is not physiologically harmless and must be replaced by other substances.
  • Gold baths which, in addition to gold, also contain zinc and other alloy metals, in particular copper, as soluble salts. With such galvanic baths, however, no pink or yellow low-carat gold alloy layers have so far been produced, but only high-quality or non-colored layers.
  • DE-OS2342691 describes a cyanidic alkaline white gold bath which, in addition to potassium gold cyanide and potassium zinc cyanide, contains potassium nickel cyanide and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate at pH values of 9-13. However, low-carat gold alloy layers cannot be produced with these baths.
  • a galvanic gold alloy bath which, in addition to potassium gold cyanide, can also contain copper sulfate and optionally a zinc salt.
  • these baths which operate at pH values of 3-10 and contain aldehydes, diamines and arsenic acid as essential components, no low-carat gold alloy layers are obtained.
  • DE-OS 27 54 207 describes a gold alloy bath which contains potassium gold cyanide, zinc sulfate and sodium carbonate and is operated at pH 4.9. Green precipitates are separated from this bath.
  • a gold alloy bath is known (DE-AS1033987) which contains potassium gold cyanide, copper, zinc and nickel in the form of their ethylenediaminetetradic acid salts. At pH 8 and a temperature of 60 ° C, 19-carat alloy coatings are obtained, which are grayish.
  • Baths containing gold as alkali gold cyanide and copper as alkali copper cyanide have proven successful.
  • Such baths preferably contain 10-30 g / l of zinc as K 2 (Zn (CN) 4 ),
  • Baths containing 0.2-1.5 g / l of a selenium and / or arsenic compound have also proven useful as a gloss additive.
  • the addition of chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetracid or other aminocarboxylic acids, in amounts of 5-20 g / l is also recommended in some cases.
  • the range from 50 to 75 ° C., in particular 60-75 ° C., and the pH range from 8-12, in particular 9-10, has proven to be the working temperature.
  • the baths according to the invention make it possible, despite different carat contents of the layers of 13-18 carats, depending on the bath composition and working conditions, to produce a constant, uniform pink or yellow color. Even with a fineness of 14 kt, a pleasant pink color (3-4 N) is achieved with copper contents of 30 to 40% by weight, which is surprising at these high copper contents. Even with a strongly fluctuating gold content in the bath between 3 and 10 g / l and a zinc content between 2 and 15% in the coating, an almost constant pink color is delivered. The deposited layers have good ductility.
