Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the discoloration of an alloy caused by sweat or the like even if being used for a long time and to maintain its brightness by composing it of a specified compsn. contg. Sn, In, Cu, Zn, Al and the balance Ag. SOLUTION: This silver alloy for accessories is composed of, by weight, 2 to 7% Sn, 1 to 5% In, 0.1 to 1% Cu, 0.1 to 1% Zn, 0.1 to 0.2% Al and the balance Ag. In this way, discoloration does not occur at all in the case of being used for a long time even without adding Pt and its brightness is not damaged as well. Thus, the silver alloy of high quality for accessories can be obtd. at a proper cost. Ag is heated and melted and is added and mixed respectively with specified amounts of Sn, In, Cu and Al. Then, a specified amt. of Zn is added thereto, stirring is executed, and the skull of the silver alloy can be obtd.
