JP2002129254A - Musical instrument and metallic material for musical instrument - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a musical instrument composed of a metallic material having corrosion resistance more excellent than that of the conventional one and to provide the metallic material for the musical instrument. SOLUTION: This musical instrument is composed of a metallic material having a composition essentially consisting of Ag, containing, by weight, 0.1 to 5.0% Au and containing at least one or more kinds of elements selected from the groups consisting of Cu, Al, Ti, Pd, Ni, V, Ta, W, Mo, Cr, Ru and Mg by 0.1 to 5.0%.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to musical instruments and metal materials for musical instruments.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional metal material for musical instruments, a gold alloy, a platinum alloy and the like are sometimes used. Among them, those exhibiting silver white are mainly K14, K18, white gold, 90% or 95% platinum (P
t) and alloys of palladium (Pd), cobalt (Co), and the like.

[0003] Gold and platinum have very high unit prices, and materials containing 90% or more of platinum and added with a noble metal that maintains a white color also have very high unit prices. For this reason, silver is often used as an inexpensive alternative metal material for musical instruments of white type.

[0004]

However, silver musical instruments have poorer corrosion resistance than gold and platinum, and oxidize during use to become dark silver. This is inconvenient compared to gold and platinum-based materials.

In order to compensate for the poor corrosion resistance, it is conceivable to apply a plating of rhodium or the like to an instrument made of silver. However, as described above, it is relatively easy to remove the plating. The surface oxidizes and becomes dark silver. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain silvery white similar to platinum even when plating is performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a musical instrument and a metal material for musical instruments made of a metal material having excellent corrosion resistance as compared with the related art. is there.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a musical instrument according to the present invention contains Ag as a main component, contains Au in a range of 0.1 wt% to 5.0 wt%, and contains Cu,
1, Ti, Pd, Ni, V, Ta, W, Mo, Cr, R
It is characterized by being made of a metal material containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of u and Mg in an amount of 0.1 wt% or more and 5.0 wt% or less.

According to the above musical instrument, Ag is the main component,
u, and Cu, Al, Ti, Pd, Ni,
Since a predetermined amount of at least one element selected from the group consisting of V, Ta, W, Mo, Cr, Ru, and Mg is contained, corrosion resistance can be improved as compared with a conventional silver musical instrument. .

The metal material for musical instruments according to the present invention is a metal material for musical instruments mainly composed of Ag, and contains 0.1 wt% of Au.
% To 5.0 wt%, Cu, Al, Ti, P
d, at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni, V, Ta, W, Mo, Cr, Ru and Mg.
It is characterized by containing 1 wt% or more and 5.0 wt% or less.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The musical instrument according to the embodiment of the present invention has Ag as a main component and Au in an amount of 0.1% by weight (wt%) or more and 5.0% by weight.
wt% or less, Cu, Al, Ti, Pd, Ni,
It is made of a metal material containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of V, Ta, W, Mo, Cr, Ru, and Mg in an amount of 0.1 wt% or more and 5.0 wt% or less.

Here, the present invention can be applied to various musical instruments. The same applies to the following instruments.

According to the above embodiment, Au is contained,
And Cu, Al, Ti, Pd, Ni, V, Ta, W,
Since a predetermined amount of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mo, Cr, Ru, and Mg is contained, corrosion resistance can be improved as compared with a conventional musical instrument made of silver. This metal material has a silvery white color and a hardness that can be used as a musical instrument.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be implemented with various modifications.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, A
g as a main component, containing Au, and Cu, Al, T
i, Pd, Ni, V, Ta, W, Mo, Cr, Ru, M
a predetermined amount of at least one or more elements selected from the group consisting of g; Therefore, it is possible to provide a musical instrument and a musical instrument metal material made of a metal material having excellent corrosion resistance as compared with the related art.
