Definitions
- the present invention relates to an 18-carat white gold having a white color comparable to that of rhodium-plated gold and having good polishing ability for applications in jewelery, watchmaking, jewelery, or for writing instruments.
- 18ct white gold alloys also known as white gold usually consist of gold, copper and elements that have the power to whiten gold. These whitening elements are often found in group VIII of the periodic table of the elements, such as Ni, Pd, Co and Fe. The whitening effect of certain metals on gold has been the subject of studies since the 1970s. as described in reference 1: " Improvement of 18 carat white gold alloys ", GP O'Connor, Gold Bull 11, 2 (1978) ).
- gray gold alloys are distinguished into two categories: palladium gold and nickel gold.
- Nickel brings an interesting color and is economically advantageous, but its allergenic effect has almost proscribed luxury applications (jewelry, watchmaking).
- the Applicant has studied various metallurgical systems in order to develop an 18-carat gray gold.
- the alloys studied are based on the Au-Pd system with usual additive elements such as Ag, Ga, Zn, Sn, Fe and Rh, but without nickel and without copper. This is a classic composition for a jewelery alloy.
- the whitest alloy obtained consists of 75% Au, 21% Pd, 2% Ag and 2% Rh.
- Table 1 gives the colorimetric measurements on the L * a * b * scale, according to the CIE 1976 model, of different compositions of 18cts gray alloys on the market.
- the value of the Yellowness Index (YI), or yellow index is also specified.
- This parameter is commonly used to characterize the white color of an alloy (What is a white gold? Progress on the issues! ", Dr. Christopher W. Corti, Santa Fe Symposium Proceedings, May 2005 ).
- the World Gold Council has defined several grades of gray gold: Non-White (YI>32); Off-White (24.5 ⁇ YI ⁇ 32); Standard-White (19 ⁇ YI ⁇ 24.5); Premium-White (YI ⁇ 19).
- the Applicant has also studied the development of a gray gold in the Au-In system.
- it has studied the feasibility of industrial exploitation of the Au75In25 alloy as an alloy for jewelery.
- Au75In25 is in the zone ( ⁇ ) which is an intermetallic phase (Au3In2).
- Au3In2 an intermetallic phase
- This alloy gives the alloy an extraordinarily white color, but its intermetallic structure gives it a very great fragility.
- This alloy is unfortunately practically unusable.
- the addition of elements like Sn, Al, Zn, Cr and Nb has also been considered in order to obtain 18-carat gold ternary alloys based on the Au-In system. It has been shown that the addition of an element comprising one of: Sn, Al, Zn, Cr and Nb, however, gives rise to either a loss of color or an inhomogeneous structure, and does not sufficiently improve the ductility of the alloy.
- the whitening power of chromium on gold is a known feature which is cited in a number of publications such as reference 1, reference 2: " Mechanical properties of Au-Fe-Cr white gold, T. Suzuki, Y. Kaneko, S. Hashimoto, J. Japan Inst Metals, 67, No. 11 (2003) ); and reference 3: " White gold alloys for investment casting ", M. Poliero, Gold Technology, No. 31 (2001) ). From this observation, the plaintiff chose to direct her research towards the Au-Cr system.
- the patent application WO2009 / 092920 also cites the use of Cr to whiten gold.
- it discloses the combination of gold with a refractory metal of columns IVB, VB and VIB of the periodic table (including Cr), without specifying the contents of refractory element.
- the whitening power of Cr has already been demonstrated, its use is limited because of its partial miscibility with gold. Indeed, if the limit of solubility of Cr in Au is exceeded, the alloy becomes inhomogeneous. The Cr precipitates present in the material deteriorate the polishing ability of the alloy, which then becomes unusable for an application in jewelery / watchmaking. The difficulty of developing a gray gold in Cr then involves introducing additional alloying elements to increase the solubility of Cr in gold, without altering the white color.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an 18-carat gray gold alloy free from the limitations of known gray gold.
- Another object of the invention is to obtain an alloy of 18 carat gold of white color, in the mass, comparable to that of a gold rhodium, and having a good surface quality after a mirror polishing.

Abstract
Description
- La présente invention concerne un or gris 18 carats présentant une couleur blanche comparable à celle des ors rhodiés et possédant une bonne aptitude au polissage pour des applications en bijouterie, en horlogerie, en joaillerie, ou pour des instruments d'écriture.
- Les alliages d'or gris (également dénommés or blanc) 18 carats se composent habituellement d'or, de cuivre et d'éléments qui ont le pouvoir de blanchir l'or. Ces éléments blanchissants se trouvent souvent dans le groupe VIII du tableau périodique des éléments, comme Ni, Pd, Co et Fe. L'effet blanchissant de certains métaux sur l'or a fait l'objet d'études dès les années 70, tel que décrit dans la référence 1: "Improvement of 18 carat white gold alloys", G.P. O'Connor, Gold Bull. 11, 2 (1978).
- Sur le marché actuel, les alliages d'or gris se distinguent en deux catégories: les ors au palladium et les ors au nickel. Le nickel apporte une couleur intéressante et est économiquement avantageux, mais son effet allergisant l'a quasiment proscrit des applications de luxe (bijouterie, horlogerie).
- Pour blanchir l'or sans nickel, différentes pistes sont explorées avec leurs inconvénients. Par exemple, on peut augmenter la teneur en éléments platineux. Cette solution est chère et ne permet pas d'obtenir un or assez blanc. Une autre solution consiste à rhodier la surface du produit final. Dans ce cas, une couleur blanche est bien obtenue mais comme il s'agit d'un traitement superficiel, la couche colorée est sensible à l'usure due au frottement et la couleur blanche est susceptible d'être détériorée avec le temps.
- Dès 2003, la demanderesse a étudié différents systèmes métallurgiques dans le but de développer un or gris 18 carats. Les alliages étudiés sont basé sur le système Au-Pd avec des éléments additifs habituels tels que Ag, Ga, Zn, Sn, Fe et Rh, mais sans nickel et sans cuivre. Il s'agit d'une composition classique pour un alliage de joaillerie. Dans cette première étude, l'alliage le plus blanc obtenu se compose de 75%Au, 21 %Pd, 2%Ag et 2%Rh. Le Tableau 1 donne les mesures colorimétriques sur l'échelle L*a*b*, selon le modèle C.I.E. 1976, de différentes compositions d'alliages 18cts gris présents sur le marché. La valeur du Yellowness Index (YI), ou indice de jaune, est également précisée. Ce paramètre, calculé à partir des trois coordonnées L*a*b*, est couramment employé pour caractériser la couleur blanche d'un alliage (What is a white gold ? Progress on the issues !", Dr Christopher W. Corti, Santa Fe Symposium Proceedings, May 2005). Sur la base de ce paramètre, le World Gold Council a défini plusieurs grades d'or gris : Non-White (YI>32) ; Off-White (24.5<YI<32) ; Standard-White (19<YI<24.5) ; Premium-White (YI<19).
Tableau 1 Composition d'alliage L* a* b* YI Situation du marché Au750, Ni155, Cu40,Zn55 85 0.4 5.9 12.2 Produit du marché Au750, Ni50, Pd50, Ag110, Cu40 78.2 0.7 5.9 14.1 Produit du marché Au750, Pd120, Ag40, Cu90 80 2.8 8.2 20.6 Produit courant du marché Au750, Pd120, Ag40, Cu90 ; rhodié 90 1.0 2.2 5.6 Produit le plus courant du marché Au750, Pd210, In35, Ga5 79 1.6 6.1 15.2 Produit du marché Au750, Pd210, Ag20, Rh20 79.4 1.4 5.2 13.1 CM prototype 2003, trop cher - La demanderesse a également étudié le développement d'un or gris dans le système Au-In. Elle a notamment étudié la faisabilité d'une exploitation industrielle de l'alliage Au75In25 comme alliage pour la bijouterie. Selon le diagramme de phases du système Au-In, Au75In25 se trouve dans la zone (Ψ) qui est une phase intermétallique (Au3In2). Cette composition donne à l'alliage une couleur extraordinairement blanche, mais sa structure intermétallique lui confère une très grande fragilité. Cet alliage est malheureusement pratiquement inexploitable. L'ajout d'éléments comme Sn, Al, Zn, Cr et Nb a également été considéré de sorte à obtenir des alliages d'or ternaires 18 carats basés sur le système Au-In. Il a été montré que l'ajout d'un élément comprenant l'un de: Sn, Al, Zn, Cr et Nb engendre cependant, soit une perte de couleur, soit une structure inhomogène, et n'améliore pas suffisamment la ductilité de l'alliage.
- Le pouvoir blanchissant du chrome sur l'or est une caractéristique connue qui est citée dans un certain nombre de publications telles que la référence 1, la référence 2: "Mechanical properties of Au-Fe-Cr white gold", T. Suzuki, Y. Kaneko, S. Hashimoto, J. Japan Inst. Metals, Vol. 67, No. 11 (2003); et la référence 3: "White gold alloys for investment casting", M. Poliero, Gold Technology, No 31 (2001). A partir de ce constat, la demanderesse a choisi d'orienter ses recherches vers le système Au-Cr.
- L'emploi de Cr pour blanchir l'or (combiné à Ag, Cu, Ni et Fe) a notamment connu de la demande de brevet
DE10027605 . Ce document décrit des teneurs en Cr n'excédant pas 14% en poids. - La demande de brevet
WO2009/092920 cite également l'utilisation de Cr pour blanchir l'or. En particulier, il divulgue la combinaison de l'or à un métal réfractaire des colonnes IVB, VB et VIB de la classification périodique (dont le Cr), sans préciser les teneurs en élément réfractaire. - Si le pouvoir blanchissant du Cr a déjà été démontré, son emploi est limité étant donné sa miscibilité partielle avec l'or. En effet, si la limite de solubilité du Cr dans l'Au est dépassée, l'alliage devient inhomogène. Les précipités de Cr présents dans la matière détériorent l'aptitude au polissage de l'alliage qui devient alors inexploitable pour une application en bijouterie/horlogerie. La difficulté du développement d'un or gris au Cr consiste alors à introduire des éléments d'alliage additionnels permettant d'augmenter la solubilité du Cr dans l'or, sans altérer la couleur blanche.
- Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un alliage d'or gris 18 carats exempt des limitations des ors gris connus.
- Un autre but de l'invention est d'obtenir un alliage d'or 18 carats de couleur blanche, dans la masse, comparable à celle d'un or rhodié, et ayant une bonne qualité de surface après un polissage miroir.
- Selon l'invention, ces buts sont atteints notamment au moyen d'un alliage d'or gris comprenant en poids: essentiellement 75% d'or; entre 13% et 23% de Cr; et entre 2% et 12% d'au moins un élément choisi parmi: Pd, Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge, Mn, V, Ni.
- Dans un mode de réalisation, la composition du Cr est comprise entre 15% et 20% et la composition dudit au moins un élément choisi parmi: Pd, Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge, Mn, V, Ni est comprise entre 5% et 10%.
- Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage comprend entre 2% et 12% de Pd et au maximum 5% d'au moins un élément choisi parmi: Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge et Mn.
- Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la composition du Cr est comprise entre 13% et 18%. La composition du Pd est comprise entre 5% et 10%
- Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage peut également comprendre au maximum 1 % d'un élément choisi parmi: Ir, Rh, Re, W, Mo, Nb, Ta, Ni, V, Ti, Zn, Zr, Si et B.
- Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage comprend en poids 75% Au, 17%Cr, et 8%Pd. Cet alliage est caractérisé par une couleur L*a*b* ayant la composante L* d'environ 82, la composante a* d'environ 0.56 et la composante b* d'environ 3.7.
- Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage comprend en poids: au moins 75% d'or; entre 13% et 17% de Cr; entre 5% et 10% de Pd; et entre 1 % et 5% de Fe.
- Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, la composition du Cr est comprise entre 13% et 16%; la composition du Pd est comprise entre 5% et 8%; et la composition du Fe est comprise entre 1 % et 4%.
- Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage comprend en poids essentiellement 75% Au, essentiellement 15% Cr, essentiellement 7% Pd, et essentiellement 3% Fe. Cet alliage est caractérisé par une couleur La couleur L*a*b* avec une composante L* d'environ 82, une composante a* d'environ 0.45 et une composante b* d'environ 3.0.
- La présente divulgation concerne également une pièce d'horlogerie, de bijouterie, de joaillerie ou un instrument d'écriture, comportant au moins un composant réalisé avec l'alliage de l'invention.
- Cette solution présente notamment l'avantage par rapport à l'art antérieur d'obtenir un alliage d'or 18 carats permettant d'élaborer des compositions combinant une couleur proche des ors rhodiés et une aptitude au polissage permettant la réalisation de pièces de bijouterie, d'horlogerie, joaillerie, ou d'instruments d'écriture.
- La bonne qualité de surface est directement liée à l'homogénéité de l'alliage. Si l'alliage présente une structure multiphasée, des inhomogénéités apparaîtront en surface du poli-miroir.
- Dans un mode de réalisation, un alliage d'or gris 18 carats comprenant en poids: au moins 75% d'or; entre 13% et 23% de Cr; entre 2% et 12% d'au moins un élément choisi parmi: Pd, Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge, Mn, V, Ni. Dans une variante, la composition du Cr peut être comprise entre 15% et 20% et la composition dudit au moins un élément choisi parmi: Pd, Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge, Mn, V, Ni est comprise entre 5% et 10%.
- Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage comprend entre 2% et 12% de Pd et au maximum 5% d'au moins un élément choisi parmi: Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge et Mn. Dans ce cas, la composition du Cr peut être comprise entre 13% et 18%. La composition du Pd peut être comprise entre 5% et 10%.
- Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage comprend en outre au maximum 1 % d'un élément choisi parmi les éléments affineurs: Ir, Rh, Re, W, Mo, parmi les éléments neutres: Nb, Ta, Ni, V, Ti, Zn, et parmi les éléments désoxydants: Zr, Si et B. Ici, l'expression " éléments neutre" signifie des éléments qui n'ont pas d'effet notable sur les principales caractéristiques de l'alliage tel que décrit ci-dessus et comprenant ces éléments neutres.
- De façon encore préférée, l'alliage d'or gris 18 carats comprend en poids: au moins 75% Au, essentiellement 17%Cr, et essentiellement 8%Pd.
- L'effet blanchissant du Pd est largement employé dans les ors gris 18 carats conventionnels. Aussi, le Cr présentant une solubilité importante dans le Pd, cet élément a été introduit en tant qu'élément d'addition secondaire dans différentes proportions afin d'améliorer l'homogénéité de la matière. L'emploi de cet élément permet, en effet, de maintenir des teneurs élevées en Cr sans altérer la couleur blanche. L'aptitude au polissage s'est vue améliorée mais n'est pas optimale car des précipités de Cr sont parfois présents dès la coulée. Dans ce système Au-Cr-Pd, la composition la plus favorable contient essentiellement 17% Cr et essentiellement 8% Pd (voir Tableau 2).
- Le système Au-Cr-Pd-Fe a également été étudié. Dans ce système, le Fe présente en effet une solubilité importante dans le Cr et le Pd à haute température. De plus, c'est un élément connu pour blanchir l'or (voir références 2 et 3). La substitution de quelques pourcents massiques de Cr au profit du Fe a permis d'améliorer notablement l'homogénéité de la matière et ainsi l'aptitude au polissage, tout en conservant une couleur très intéressante.
- Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'alliage d'or gris 18 carats comprend en poids: au moins 75% d'or; entre 13% et 17% de Cr; entre 5% et 10% de Pd; et entre 1 % et 5% de Fe. De façon préférée, la composition du Cr est comprise entre 13% et 16%; et la composition du Pd est comprise entre 5% et 8%. De façon encore préférée, l'alliage d'or comprend en poids: au moins 75 % Au, essentiellement 15% Cr, et essentiellement 7% Pd et essentiellement 3% Fe. Ce dernier alliage présente le meilleur compromis entre couleur et aptitude au polissage.
- Des exemples de compositions d'alliages conventionnels et de l'alliage selon l'invention sont mentionnés dans le Tableau 2. En particulier, le Tableau 2 rapporte des résultats de mesures sur l'échelle L*a*b* selon la modèle C.I.E. 1976 et le Yellowness Index (YI), ou indice de jaune, mesuré selon la norme ASTM D-1925 pour chacun de ces alliages, ainsi que des observations sur la qualité du polissage. Plus particulièrement, le tableau 2 rapporte des mesures colorimétriques et observations sur la qualité du polissage de quatre alliages d'or gris conventionnels (nos. 1 à 4) et sept exemples d'alliages d'or selon l'invention (nos. 5 à 11). Les compositions sont exprimées en % en poids. Par exemple, les mesures ont montré notamment que l'alliage comprenant en poids: au moins 75% d'or; entre 13% et 23% de Cr; entre 2% et 12% d'au moins un élément choisi parmi: Pd, Fe, Ru, Pt, Co, Ga, Ge, Mn, V, Ni, est caractérisé par un indice de jaune étant inférieur à 10. On obtient également un indice de jaune inférieur à 10 pour les autres alliages de l'invention. Ici, la coloration est dans la masse de l'alliage et ne peut être détériorée par l'usure en surface.

- Pour l'alliage comprenant en poids: au moins: 75% Au, essentiellement 15%Cr, essentiellement 7%Pd, et essentiellement 3% Fe, une couleur L*a*b* est mesurée avec la composante L* d'environ 82, la composante a* d'environ 0.45 et la composante b* d'environ 3.0.
- Parmi les alliages testés, les compositions AuCr17Pd8 (au moins 75% Au, essentiellement 17%Cr, et essentiellement 8%Pd) et AuCr15Pd7Fe3 (au moins 75% Au, essentiellement 15%Cr, essentiellement 7%Pd, et essentiellement 3% Fe) sont les plus intéressantes. La composition contenant du Fe (AuCr15Pd7Fe3) présente cependant les caractéristiques les plus prometteuses pour une application dans le domaine du luxe (bijouterie, horlogerie) car elle associe à la fois une couleur très blanche et une bonne aptitude au polissage.
- Des résultats de tests de corrosion selon la norme dentaire (ISO 10271-2001) ont été effectués sur sept alliages pour évaluer le taux de libération (en µg/cm2x7d) des ions des éléments sensibles comme Ni et Cr (Tableau 3). Pour une application dentaire, la norme ISO 10271-2001 limite le taux de libération total à 200 µg/cm2x7d. D'après ces essais, les deux alliages AuCr17Pd8 et AuCr15Pd7Fe présentent une très bonne résistance à la corrosion.
