Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gold alloy.
- the gold alloy comprises at least 990 ⁇ by weight of gold, or even at least 999 ⁇ . It has a hardness and stability compatible for use in the luxury industry, in particular for the manufacture of watchmaking or jewelery objects.
- Jewelery gold is generally made of an alloy whose alloying elements provide the necessary hardness properties and/or make it possible to change the color. Thus, depending on its degree of purity and its alloying elements, gold can be yellow, white, pink, gray.
- Pure gold, or quasi-pure ( ⁇ 990 ⁇ by weight of gold), has hardness properties which may prove to be unsatisfactory, the material being too ductile to produce certain objects such as fine jewelry items.
- the alloys comprising at least 990 ⁇ by weight of gold or 24-carat gold have a Vickers hardness which is generally around 30 HV in the annealed state and around 65 HV in the annealed state. hardened state.
- the hardness properties can be improved by means of specific treatments, in particular by hardening by solid solution, by hardening by plastic deformation (hardening) or by hardening by precipitation.
- These treatments which can be combined, are based on the formation of obstacles to the movements of the dislocations responsible for the plastic deformation of the gold.
- preventing or reducing the movements of the dislocations makes it possible to harden the gold.
- Hardening by solid solution corresponds to the introduction into a metal matrix, which is generally pure, of a minority element (solute, soluble in the metal matrix).
- Strain hardening is achieved by plastic deformation of a metal or alloy. It includes a heat treatment step. During hardening, the metal or alloy undergoes plastic deformations inducing dislocations.
- the solute atoms can slow down the movement of the dislocations by interacting with them within the crystalline structure, that is to say the grains. This phenomenon can be amplified when the solute atoms have a strongly different size (lower or higher) than that of the atoms of the hardened metal, in this case gold.
- the size and atomic mass of the solute atoms can have an influence on the hardness.
- the improvement in hardness is proportional to the difference in atomic radius between the solvent and the solute.
- the hardness can increase when the atomic mass of the solute is significantly lower than that of gold.
- Structural hardening corresponds to the formation of precipitates in the metal or alloy. These precipitates are generally distributed homogeneously, for example at the grain boundaries or within the grains. These precipitates can result from the homogenization of the alloy or metal, for example following the formation of a more stable phase during a thermal quenching step. These precipitates can form obstacles to the movements of the dislocations and thus improve the hardness of the metal or the alloy.
- the alloying elements can contribute to the improvement of the hardness of gold but the room for maneuver is narrow when the alloy comprises at least 990 ⁇ by weight of gold.
- the document EP 0 882 805 describes an alloy comprising: gold, 200 to 2000 ppm of calcium, beryllium, germanium or boron and 10 to 1000 ppm of a rare earth.
- the document JP PH093570 describes an alloy comprising: gold, 200 to 2000 ppm of calcium, beryllium or boron, 10 to 1000 ppm of a rare earth, 10 to 1000 ppm of aluminium, silicon, cobalt, nickel, tin or lead, 10 to 10,000 ppm ruthenium, iridium or rhodium.
- the document JP 2003-328059 describes an alloy comprising gold, 0.12 to 0.28% yttrium, 0.02 to 0.18% calcium, and optionally 0.02 to 0.16% beryllium, boron, aluminum, silicon , nickel, copper, germanium, palladium, tin or antimony.
- the document EP 0 685 565 discloses a gold alloy, having a Vickers hardness of 100 or greater, comprising between 618 and 734 ppm of calcium, beryllium, germanium and/or boron, and between 161 and 613 ppm of rare earths (including yttrium), the amount of rare earths is therefore lower than the amount of calcium, beryllium, germanium and boron.
- alloys Although these alloys have a satisfactory hardness, it remains difficult to obtain an alloy comprising at least 990 ⁇ by weight of gold that can be used in the manufacture of timepieces or durable jewelry. This is all the more true for the luxury industry, where the quality of the articles must be irreproachable. To do this, it is preferable to have an alloy having a hardness greater than or equal to 90 HV, advantageously greater than or equal to 100 HV. This hardness is commonly considered sufficient to obtain excellent resistance of the article to scratches in particular.
- the present invention solves this problem thanks to the development of an alloy based on gold and two alloying elements allowing the manufacture of high quality articles with great durability.

- the optional step d) of aging corresponds to structural hardening by precipitation.
- the structural hardening is manifested by the formation of precipitates of various origins within the alloy, either at the grain boundaries or within the grains.
- the aging step d) is optional. It can be carried out at a temperature between 150°C and 300°C. Its duration is advantageously between 0.5 and 3 hours.
- the aging can be carried out in air or, when the composition of the gold alloy is sensitive to oxidation, in an inert atmosphere, for example under argon.
- the alloy obtained at the end of hardening, or aging can then be shaped according to conventional techniques to form the watchmaking or jewelery article according to the invention.
- the shaping is carried out by cold or hot deformation, then by stamping, cutting, machining, for example by means of a cutting tool or by electroerosion or by means of a laser.
- the shaping can be carried out by additive manufacturing.
- the alloy is first transformed into powder form.
- Shaping by rolling in step c) corresponds to work hardening. It was made using a bench rolling mill. A lamella with a thickness of less than 7 mm is passed several times between the two rolls of the rolling mill, the spacing of which is controlled by a handwheel. Two theoretical strain levels were applied at 75% and 90%. To ensure better reproducibility during this step, all the samples are deformed at a height of 0.35 mm per pass with a constant rolling speed of the rollers of 3.95 m/minute.
- Examples 2 to 14 relate to various compositions of gold alloys comprising at least one alloying element from among calcium, yttrium, titanium, germanium, tin and silicon.
- the figure 1 illustrates the as-cast hardnesses, after strain hardening, possibly after ageing, of these compositions and of pure gold (CE-1).
- the figure 1 shows that the effect of hardening by solid solution (as cast) remains insufficient for these gold alloy compositions. However, the malleability of these compositions allows deformation rates of 90% without cracking.
- the AuPd (CE-2) and AuZr (CE-3) compositions are not satisfactory insofar as the gain in hardness is less than 100 HV (80-85 HV) and remains too limited compared to pure gold ( CE-1, 65HV).
- the AuCa (CE-14) composition could be suitable to have a sufficiently hard gold alloy.
- this composition requires an aging step.
- it is difficult to implement because calcium is not very soluble in gold (1.8 atomic % at 800° C.) and oxidizes easily during heat treatments, which creates an embrittling phase. This is also the case for AuCaSi (CE-11).
- compositions (AuTiGe (INV-7), AuGeSn (INV-9), AuYGe (INV-10) and AuSiGe (INV-12) have a hardness greater than 100 HV after work hardening at 90% .
- the composition Au 999 Ge 0.665 Si 0.335 could not be implemented due to complete cracking of the sample after work hardening of a few percent.
- the Au 999 Ge 1 composition (not shown) has a relatively low as-cast hardness comparable to that of fine gold (30 HV). After 75% hardening, it is only 50 HV, which is insufficient.
- Silicon makes it possible to increase the hardness after work hardening when it is present as the main alloying element (INV-12 and INV-13).
