“LEGA DEL RAME PARTICOLARMENTE PER GETTI â € œ COPPER ALLOY PARTICULARLY FOR CASTINGS

ARTISTICI, ARCHITETTONICI ED ORNAMENTALI†ARTISTIC, ARCHITECTURAL AND ORNAMENTAL⠀

La presente invenzione attiene in generale al settore metallurgico delle leghe di rame, quali ottone e bronzo, e riguarda segnatamente una lega formulata in particolare, anche se non solamente, come materiale di partenza per lavorazioni nei campi artistico, architettonico ed ornamentale. The present invention relates in general to the metallurgical sector of copper alloys, such as brass and bronze, and in particular relates to an alloy formulated in particular, although not exclusively, as a starting material for processing in the artistic, architectural and ornamental fields.

Per l’impiego in getti, ovvero fusioni, di sculture e/o oggetti artistici, architettonici ed ornamentali si utilizzano comunemente leghe di ottone e bronzo che hanno loro proprie colorazioni di base dipendenti dalla loro normale composizione. Comunque, quando alle sculture od oggetti risultanti si vuol attribuire un colore giallo dorato à ̈ necessario ricorrere a trattamenti di superficie con processi aggiuntivi però con problemi vari quanto meno di resistenza all’ossidazione, di mantenere inalterate le loro caratteristiche nel tempo, nonché di finitura e di ritocchi laddove diventi necessario mascherare imperfezioni superficiali. Inoltre, per consentire almeno la loro lavorabilità con asportazione di truciolo, tali leghe contengono normalmente piombo, un elemento per il quale c’à ̈ la tendenza ad eliminarlo in quanto tossico e nocivo alla salute e all’ambiente di lavoro. For use in castings, or castings, of sculptures and / or artistic, architectural and ornamental objects, brass and bronze alloys are commonly used which have their own basic colors depending on their normal composition. However, when a golden yellow color is to be attributed to the resulting sculptures or objects, it is necessary to resort to surface treatments with additional processes but with various problems at least of resistance to oxidation, to maintain their characteristics unaltered over time, as well as finishing and retouching where it becomes necessary to mask surface imperfections. Furthermore, to allow at least their machinability with chip removal, these alloys normally contain lead, an element for which there is a tendency to eliminate it as it is toxic and harmful to health and the working environment.

Obiettivo della presente invenzione à ̈ invece di proporre e fornire un’innovativa lega di rame, sostanzialmente senza piombo e particolarmente indicata come materiale di partenza per lavorazioni/fusioni nel settore artistico-architettonicoornamentale ove sia richiesto un colore giallo dorato, durevole nel tempo, vantaggiosamente senza dover ricorre a processi addizionali e con la possibilità di varie finiture di superficie. The objective of the present invention is instead to propose and supply an innovative copper alloy, substantially lead-free and particularly suitable as a starting material for processing / casting in the artistic-architectural ornamental sector where a long-lasting golden yellow color is required. advantageously without having to resort to additional processes and with the possibility of various surface finishes.

Tale obiettivo à ̈ raggiunto secondo l’invenzione con una lega metallurgica che la richiedente contraddistingue con la denominazione “Gold MSC A6†e la cui composizione à ̈ la seguente: This objective is achieved according to the invention with a metallurgical alloy that the applicant identifies with the denomination â € œGold MSC A6â € and whose composition is the following:

Quantità (peso %) Di preferenza Componenti Quantity (weight%) Preferably Components

da a (peso %) Rame 89,6 91,4 90,5 Alluminio 6 7 6,5 Zinco 1,8 2,2 2 Stagno 0,8 1,2 1 Ferro - 0,10 -Manganese 0,05 -Nichel 0,05 -Bismuto - 0,05 -Silicio - 0,05 -Fosforo - 0,05 -Antimonio - 0,05 -Piombo - 0,03 - from to (weight%) Copper 89.6 91.4 90.5 Aluminum 6 7 6.5 Zinc 1.8 2.2 2 Tin 0.8 1.2 1 Iron - 0.10 - Manganese 0.05 - Nickel 0.05 - Bismuth - 0.05 - Silicon - 0.05 - Phosphorus - 0.05 - Antimony - 0.05 - Lead - 0.03 -

e dove la somma delle impurità, escluso il ferro, non deve superare 0, 25%. and where the sum of the impurities, iron excluded, must not exceed 0, 25%.

La lega di rame così formulata ha una massa volumetrica 7,80 Kg/dm<3>e può essere fornita in pani dal peso di circa 13-14 Kg o in sottoformati a richiesta. Essa viene ad avere un colore un giallo dorato, che si mantiene nel tempo, con una tonalità molto più calda rispetto al tradizionale ottone, nonché un’ottima resistenza all’ossidazione e agli agenti atmosferici. L’alluminio presente nella lega forma un velo di ossido sul bagno fuso, proteggendo dagli agenti esterni quali ossigeno e idrogeno. The copper alloy thus formulated has a volumetric mass of 7.80 Kg / dm <3> and can be supplied in blocks weighing about 13-14 Kg or in sub-formats on request. It has a golden yellow color, which is maintained over time, with a much warmer shade than traditional brass, as well as excellent resistance to oxidation and atmospheric agents. The aluminum present in the alloy forms a veil of oxide on the molten bath, protecting it from external agents such as oxygen and hydrogen.

Vantaggiosamente, la superficie del pezzo fuso può essere lucidata anche a specchio, satinata od opacizzata secondo necessità. Essa può anche essere trattata chimicamente per ottenere colorazioni e sfumature personalizzate, pure con trattamenti diversificati da parte a parte, anche se à ̈ consigliabile rispettare il colore volutamente attribuito alla lega. Se la scultura od oggetto prodotto, una volta finito, necessita di ritocchi per mascherare eventuali imperfezioni, gli interventi richiesti possono essere effettuati facilmente e con successo potendo avere come base la stessa lega. Comunque, sarà sempre facile ripristinare il colore iniziale a mezzo di sostanze appropriate. Advantageously, the surface of the casting can also be mirror polished, satin or opaque according to need. It can also be chemically treated to obtain customized colors and shades, even with different treatments from one side to the other, although it is advisable to respect the color deliberately attributed to the alloy. If the sculpture or object produced, once finished, needs retouching to mask any imperfections, the required interventions can be carried out easily and successfully as the same alloy is based. However, it will always be easy to restore the original color by means of appropriate substances.

La lega ha un punto di fusione di 1120- 1150°C, con la possibilità di elevarlo fino 1200°C se trattasi di getti particolarmente complicati, senza comunque recar danno alla struttura chimico-fisica della lega stessa. Per la fusione sono consigliabili forni a crogiolo o elettrici a induzione con basso rimescolamento. I getti possono essere effettuati in sabbia, cera persa, conchiglia o microfusione. The alloy has a melting point of 1120-1150 ° C, with the possibility of raising it up to 1200 ° C in the case of particularly complicated castings, without however damaging the chemical-physical structure of the alloy itself. Crucible or electric induction furnaces with low mixing are recommended for melting. The castings can be made in sand, lost wax, shell or investment casting.

La colabilità e fluidità della lega vengono ad essere ottimali grazie all’assenza di elementi volatili e conseguente eliminazione sia di incrostazioni sugli stampi sia di fastidiosi fumi bianchi durante la colata a beneficio di un ambiente di lavoro più salubre. The castability and fluidity of the alloy are optimal thanks to the absence of volatile elements and consequent elimination of both encrustations on the molds and annoying white fumes during casting for the benefit of a healthier work environment.

Pure l’assenza di elementi tossici e nocivi come piombo, cadmio, berillio, ecc., contribuisce a migliorare l’ambiente. The absence of toxic and harmful elements such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, etc., also contributes to improving the environment.

Per di più la lega presenta buona lavorabilità all’utensile e ottima saldabilità a TIG (arco-scintilla) con materiali d’apporto commerciali (lega Cu 92 Al 8) della stessa tonalità di colore della lega secondo l’invenzione. Furthermore, the alloy has good machinability on the tool and excellent TIG (arc-spark) weldability with commercial filler materials (Cu 92 Al 8 alloy) of the same color tone as the alloy according to the invention.
