The present invention relates to improvements in platinum alloys used as materials for rings, necklaces, brooches, tie pins, cufflinks, watch frames, watch bands, lighters, writing utensils, eyeglass frames, earrings, and the like. Conventionally, platinum-palladium (5 to 15% by weight (hereinafter referred to as "w/o")) alloys have been widely used as materials for decorative items such as those mentioned above. This alloy has excellent workability and castability, but because of its low mechanical strength and particularly low hardness, it is easily scratched and stamped during polishing, and is difficult to produce gloss, and is used as a finished product. Rings with jewels also had the disadvantage that the part that held the jewels in place loosened and the jewels fell off. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and aims to provide a decorative platinum alloy with excellent mechanical strength and workability. One of the age hardenable decorative platinum alloys according to the present invention includes 3 to 10 w/o of gallium and 3 to 10 w/o of indium.
One with age hardening properties consists of 10w/o and the balance is platinum, and the other is platinum 84~94w/o.
o, gallium 3~10w/o, indium 3~
10w/o, palladium, rhodium, iridium,
At least one type of ruthenium is 2~5w/o
It has age hardening characteristics of 2 to 5 w/o in total and the balance being platinum. The reason for adding gallium to the decorative platinum alloy according to the present invention is that, as is clear from the Pt-Ga binary phase diagram, Ga exhibits a maximum solid solution amount of 6 w/o relative to Pt at 1361°C. This is because its solid solubility limit gradually decreases as the temperature decreases, and when it is aged at an appropriate temperature after being subjected to solution treatment in which it is heated to a solid solution region and rapidly cooled, it exhibits remarkable age hardening properties. If the amount added is less than 3w/o, there is almost no improvement in hardness.
This is because if it exceeds 10 w/o, Pt and Ga will form an intermetallic compound, resulting in poor workability. The reason why indium is added is that Pt-In alloy exhibits remarkable age hardening properties when it is aged at an appropriate temperature after being subjected to solution treatment in which it is heated to a solid solution region and rapidly cooled. This is because if the amount added is less than 3 w/o, there is little improvement in hardness, and if it exceeds 10 w/o, Pt and In will form an intermetallic compound, resulting in poor workability. Furthermore, the reason for adding at least one of palladium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium is that these elements prevent the corrosion resistance from deteriorating due to the addition of gallium and indium, and their effects remain the same.
Below 2w/o, it has no effect on corrosion resistance and 5w/o
This is because if it exceeds this, age hardening properties will be hindered. Examples and conventional examples will be described below in order to clarify the effects of the decorative platinum alloy according to the present invention. Platinum alloys for ornaments of Examples No. 1 to No. 17 with the composition shown in Table 1, Comparative Example No. 18, Conventional Example No. 19, No. 20
The hardness after solution treatment, the hardness after aging, and the sweat resistance of the platinum alloy for ornaments were measured, and the results shown in Table 2 were obtained.

Judgment was made after immersion for 240 hours at a liquid temperature of 40°C with a liquid composition of 1.5 g/g/, pH 4.7. As is clear from the above, the platinum alloy for ornaments according to the present invention has significantly superior hardness after aging treatment and is equally excellent in sweat resistance compared to conventional platinum alloys for ornaments. As detailed above, the platinum alloy for ornaments of the present invention has extremely excellent workability, mechanical strength, and sweat resistance, so it is an epoch-making material that can replace conventional platinum alloys for ornaments. It can be said that it is a thing.
