Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a black-appearing, self-healing part having a precious metal substrate.
- black bronzes is then found in other civilizations (Roman, Saxon, Chinese (Wu-tong), as well as in Japan, in the Middle Ages.
- the “Niiro” coatings have a “purple” black. Furthermore, they are traditionally made using a Japanese radish (for example daikon) to prepare the surface and with the addition of traditional Japanese plum vinegar in the patina solution which is difficult to compatible with a industrial production.
- a Japanese radish for example daikon
- a black coating for example by dry deposition such as PVD (“physical vapor deposition”) or DLC (“diamond like carbon”), or again by application of a lacquer.
- dry deposition such as PVD (“physical vapor deposition”) or DLC (“diamond like carbon”)
- such a coating generally causes an adhesion problem, in particular on a relatively ductile substrate, which leads to chipping and/or delamination of the coating, particularly in the event of an impact.
- An objective is to provide an alloy with a black appearance, at least on the surface, or even if possible a deep black, overcoming at least in part the aforementioned drawbacks.
- a precious metal here means an alloy comprising at least one of gold, silver or platinum. Here, it is more particularly a gold-based alloy.
- Such a process thus makes it possible to produce a part with a black appearance having self-repairing properties.
- the black of the patina obtained after application of such a patina bath is for example characterized by colorimetry in the L*a*b* CIE 1976 color space with a value of “L” between 10 and 50, more particularly between 30 and 50, a value of “a” between -1.5 and 1; and a value of “b” between -8 and 1.
- the contents can be measured by any method.
- the gold content is measured by ICP-AES (atomic emission spectrometry - inductively coupled plasma), for example after dissolution in aqua regia (i.e. a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, for example respectively in proportion 1:3), or by gravimetry (i.e. by attack of an alloy with nitric acid and weighing of the insolubles which are recovered on a filter which is weighed).
- ICP-AES atomic emission spectrometry - inductively coupled plasma
- the measured content values can vary up to 10% for example, and sometimes even more.
- the method comprises a step of forming the substrate alloy.
- the step of forming the substrate alloy comprises a step of mixing, in proportions, of at least 45 g to 55 g, for example 50 g, of gold (Au) with between 800 g and 1200 g, for example 1000 g, of pure copper (Cu).
- the mixing step is configured to produce an alloy comprising between 4.5% and 4.8%, for example 4.76%, of gold (by mass).
- the gold content obtained is for example 4.57wt.% when measured by ICP-AES and 4.66% when measured by gravimetry.
- the method comprises a step of forming the substrate on a base.
- the base is made of stainless steel, aluminum, bronze or brass or other, of any desired geometry or dimension.
- the step of forming the substrate comprises a step of galvanic deposition or by spraying the alloy onto the base, in particular by techniques such as Cold Spray or Arc Spray. (arc projection).
- This step is for example configured to form a thickness of the substrate of at least 100 ⁇ m.
- the proportions given for the step of preparing a patina bath are for example for one liter of water, in particular distilled or permuted water.
- the method comprises, prior to the step of applying the patina bath, a step of stripping, also called stripping, of the upper surface of the substrate.
- the stripping step is for example configured to remove a possible oxide layer on the surface of the substrate.
- the stripping step is for example carried out with a solution of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) at a content between 0.5% and 10% diluted in water (H 2 O).
- H 2 SO 4 sulfuric acid
- the process can optionally include a degreasing step, for example by a solvent, or by ultrasound, for example in the presence of a surfactant.
- a degreasing step for example by a solvent, or by ultrasound, for example in the presence of a surfactant.
- the method comprises a step of rinsing the substrate, for example rinsing with water; this step is for example implemented after the stripping step.
- the step of applying the patina bath comprises a step of immersing the substrate in the patina bath.
- the immersion stage has a duration of between 45 minutes and 120 minutes, for example 60 minutes.
- the patina bath has a temperature between 80°C and 100°C.
- the process may include a drying step, for example in the open air, and/or in an oven.
- the process may possibly include a step of polishing the patina.
- the process can also include a finishing step.
- the finishing step may include a step of applying a non-volatile organic substance, for example a protection, for example an organic material, such as for example a gum arabic, a wax, a resin or other .
- This non-volatile organic substance by impregnating it, allows the patina to go from an overall anthracite-looking patina to a deeper black.

- the method can for example include a step of forming the substrate comprising a step of galvanic deposition or by projection on the base, in particular by techniques such as Cold Spray or Arc Spray, of the alloy as described previously, this step being configured to form a substrate thickness of at least 100 ⁇ m.
- the method according to an example of implementation of the invention also comprises a step of preparing a patina bath 21.
- distilled or permutated water is heated to 90°C (+/-10°C).
- the copper acetate and half of the copper sulfate i.e. 5 g are added to the distilled or permutated water.
- This first mixture is stirred for one hour, then one gram (1 g) of salt is added as well as the rest of copper sulfate (i.e. 5 g).
- This second mixture is then stirred for about an hour as well.
- the method then includes a step of applying the patina bath 21 to the upper surface 11 of the substrate 10.
- the process includes for example a step of stripping, also called stripping, of the upper surface 11 of the substrate.
- the stripping step is for example configured to remove a possible oxide layer on the surface 11 of the substrate.
- the stripping step is for example carried out with a solution of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) at a content between 0.5% and 10% diluted in water (H 2 O).
- H 2 SO 4 sulfuric acid
- the process can optionally include a degreasing step, for example by a solvent, or by ultrasound, for example in the presence of a surfactant.

- the process may include a drying step, for example in the open air, and/or in an oven.
- the process may possibly include a polishing step.
- the process can also include a finishing step.
- the finishing step may include a step of applying a protection, for example an organic material, such as a gum arabic, a wax, a resin or the like.
- This organic, non-volatile substance can possibly intensify the black of the patina.
- the black of the patina obtained after application of such a patina bath is for example characterized by colorimetry in the L*a*b* CIE 1976 color space with a value of “L” between 10 and 50, more particularly between 30 and 50, a value of “a” between -1.5 and 1; and a value of “b” between -8 and 1.
- this black can be characterized in the L*a*b* CIE 1976 color space with a value of “L” comprised more particularly between approximately 10 and 40, a value of “a” comprised approximately between -1.5 and 1; and a value of “b” approximately between -4 and 1.
- the finish thus helps to provide a deep black appearance to the room.

- the finish application step can for example be carried out by dipping, spraying, dabbing, application with a cloth or brush.
- Cuprite is naturally red, but it appears that such a patina leads to a black tint thanks to the presence of gold (and/or silver) coming from the substrate.
- Such a part 30 thus presents a “deep black”.
- the black of the patina obtained after application of such a patina bath is for example characterized by colorimetry in the L*a*b* CIE 1976 color space with a value of “L” between 10 and 50, more particularly between 30 and 50, a value of “a” between -1.5 and 1; and a value of “b” between -8 and 1.

- the spectrum has peaks that represent primarily copper and gold, as well as carbon and oxygen.
- patina 20 is therefore enriched in gold.
- the relatively low presence of carbon in the present example can be explained for example by the use of gum arabic for a finishing step of the part 30, and/or by pollution.
- the spectral resolution is in a range between 9 cm -1 and 15 cm -1 .
- patina 20 is mainly made up of cuprite.
- the invention thus makes it possible to provide a precious metal part with a black and self-healing appearance.
