【006】
本発明特殊合金の組成成分について、その作用と添加量の限定理由を説明する。
【007】
AIは黄金色の色調・強度を決定する必要な主元素であり、その添加量が5%未満では黄金色の色調が低下する。一方9%を超えて添加すると加工性が低下する。

【010】
Mnは合金の強度靭性・耐食性に寄与する元素であり、その添加量が0.1%未満では効果が充分ではなく、一方0.5%を超えて添加すると素地中にβ相が多く生成し、耐食性が低下する。
【011】
Coは合金の耐食性・冷間加工性を向上させる元素であり、その添加量が0.001%未満では効果が充分ではなく、一方0.01%を超えて添加すると素地に金属間化合物が析出し、耐食性・冷間加工性が低下する。
【012】
Be・Geはいずれも合金の耐食性を向上させる作用があり、その添加量がそれぞれ0.0025%未満では効果が充分ではなく、一方0.2%を超えると結晶粒が粗大化し、塑性加工性・耐食性が低下する。
【013】
Tiは合金の耐食性・冷間加工性を向上させる元素であり、その添加量が0.001未満では効果が充分ではなく、一方0.01%を超えて添加すると素地に金属間化合物が析出し、耐食性・冷間加工性が低下する。

[0086]
Regarding the composition components of the special alloy of the present invention, the reason for limiting the action and the added amount will be described.
007
AI is a main element necessary to determine the color tone and intensity of golden color, and if its addition amount is less than 5%, the golden color tone is reduced. On the other hand, if it is added in excess of 9%, the workability is reduced.
[0098]
Ni is an element effective for improving corrosion resistance. The effect is not sufficient if the addition amount is less than 1%, while the effect is saturated even if added over 4%, which is economically undesirable.
[0099]
In is an element that further improves the corrosion resistance. If the amount of addition is less than 0.005%, the effect is not sufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.3%, the crystal grains become coarse and the workability is reduced.
[0102]
Mn is an element that contributes to the strength toughness and corrosion resistance of the alloy. If its content is less than 0.1%, the effect is not sufficient, while if it exceeds 0.5%, a large amount of β phase is formed in the base material. And the corrosion resistance is reduced.
[0111]
Co is an element that improves the corrosion resistance and cold workability of the alloy. If its content is less than 0.001%, the effect is not sufficient, while if it exceeds 0.01%, intermetallic compounds precipitate on the base material. In addition, corrosion resistance and cold workability are reduced.
[0122]
Both Be and Ge have the effect of improving the corrosion resistance of the alloy. When the amount of each element is less than 0.0025%, the effect is not sufficient. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 0.2%, the crystal grains become coarse and plastic workability is increased. -Corrosion resistance decreases.
[0113]
Ti is an element that improves the corrosion resistance and cold workability of the alloy. If the addition amount is less than 0.001, the effect is not sufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.01%, the intermetallic compound precipitates on the substrate. , Corrosion resistance and cold workability are reduced.
[0141]
Cr is an element that increases the corrosion resistance and tensile strength of the alloy, and if its addition is less than 0.05%, it is not sufficient. If it exceeds 0.2%, a β phase is formed in the base material, and the corrosion resistance is reduced. In addition, the flow of molten metal during casting becomes worse.
[0151]
