Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of a copper-based alloy with 1 to 7% tin and 1 to 7% aluminum, but the sum of the percentages of aluminum and tin does not exceed 10%, residual copper including unavoidable, production-related impurities as a material for the production of Coins or the like, which must have a golden color and a high tarnish resistance.
  • the coin authorities are therefore considering switching to newer, higher value coins from smaller pieces and distinguishing them from the existing highest value coins of the system by a different coin color.
  • Gold shades are particularly suitable for this because they combine certain values and most of the coins in circulation - at least the higher-value ones - have silver shades.
  • Coin materials with gold-like colors are known and some have already been used. Almost without exception, these are copper-based alloys that e.g. are alloyed with 25% zinc, with 20% zinc and 1% nickel, with 5 to 6% aluminum and 2% nickel or with 2% aluminum and 6% nickel.
  • all of these materials have the disadvantage that they lose their originally brilliant appearance relatively quickly in use and assume a matt and more brownish shade. This disadvantage is accepted in the case of coins of low value. For higher-value coins, such a discoloration that arises soon after use is not acceptable. For this reason, silver-colored materials, preferably nickel or alloys with a relatively high nickel content, have been used for higher-value coins.
  • punched coin blanks were made from the copper-based alloy to be used according to the invention (sample 5: 6% Sn, 2% Al; sample 6: 5% Al, 3% Sn; sample 7: 2% Al, 3% Sn) with or without Embossing is first subjected to the following pretreatment: pickling, rinsing in water, treating with a smoothing agent, drying in rice grist without rinsing, if necessary, embossing without additional lubricant.
  • Atmospheres of different aggressiveness were used as test media, namely:
  • test duration was 20 d.
  • the samples were then removed and assessed individually and separately for each test medium visually according to a point system with the marks 1 to 5, 1 meaning very good tarnish resistance and 5 very poor tarnish resistance with a strongly tarnished surface.
  • samples 1 to 4 have an overall rating between 19 and 24, the sample 5 made of the copper-based alloy to be used according to the invention is significantly lower with a total value of 15. From the point of view of tarnish resistance, this is therefore len copper base alloys previously used as a coin material are clearly superior. This also applies to samples 6 and 7, which are somewhat worse in tarnish resistance, but are economically more interesting due to the reduced Sn content by half and enable other surface colors.
  • the gold shades were determined by determining color index numbers according to DIN 5033 and index numbers according to the color system DIN 6164 from the spectral reflectance.
  • the hue T, the saturation level S and the dark level D in the form of the color symbol (T: S: D) as a measure according to the color system DIN 6164 for the copper alloys examined are summarized in Table 2:
  • samples 5 and 7 have almost the same color saturation as the well-known coin alloy CuA16Ni2, but that the shade is closer to rose gold, which gives the impression of a warmer gold tone that is preferred for coins.
  • the sample 6 is more in the light yellow area, but in view of its good tarnish resistance it is still much better suited as a coin material than the comparison materials.
