Titanium-based materials have traditionally been used in a variety of fields due to their light weight and excellent corrosion resistance, but in recent years, as their use as materials for metal eyeglass frames and wristwatch exterior parts has increased, titanium-based materials have become increasingly popular for products with a more beautiful appearance. To this end, various attempts have been made to plate the surface of titanium-based materials with precious metals.

However, when noble metal plating is applied directly onto a titanium-based material, the adhesion of the noble metal plating layer to the titanium-based material is poor, and it is extremely difficult to apply good noble metal plating without impairing the beautiful appearance and gloss. For this reason, conventional methods have been to apply nickel plating, which can be plated with precious metals, to the surface of titanium-based materials, and then apply precious metal plating, or to apply nickel plating, and then to apply precious metal plating (for example, JP-A No. 59-162296, etc.). ) etc., but nickel has the disadvantage of being easily attacked by chemicals, so in order to make a product with excellent corrosion resistance, it is necessary to make the precious metal plating layer considerably thicker, and as a result, the product becomes very There was a problem that it was expensive. In addition, in the case of products plated with precious metals using this method, if part of the precious metal plating layer is worn or scratched during use and the nickel plating layer below the precious metal plating layer is exposed, the nickel plating layer may be damaged by sweat, etc. A major drawback was that the precious metal plating layer would peel off due to corrosion.

In the present invention, the titanium-based material is first treated with a treatment liquid containing fluoride, but usually prior to this treatment, the titanium-based material is degreased and cleaned with an alkali or the like. As the treatment liquid containing fluoride, a solution containing 0.1 to 20 wt% of fluoride and having a pH of 6.0 or less is preferable. Examples of the above fluorides include acidic ammonium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, boric fluoride, calcium fluoride, potassium fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium silicofluoride, acidic potassium fluoride, acidic sodium fluoride, and hydrofluoric acid. etc. Treatment with a treatment solution containing fluoride is performed by immersing the titanium-based material in the treatment solution, but the temperature of the treatment solution is 1 to 60°C.
It is preferable to perform the treatment under conditions such as temperature and immersion time of about 10 to 300 seconds.

The titanium-based material treated with the fluoride-containing treatment liquid is then plated with palladium strike plating. The plating liquid used in the palladium strike plating process is the same as that used in ordinary palladium plating. Palladium strike plating is preferably carried out at a solution temperature of 20 to 80° C., a current density of 0.1 to 5 A/dm 2 , and a plating time of about 10 to 300 seconds, and is preferably formed to a thickness of about 0.1 to 1 μm.

In the present invention, after palladium strike plating is applied, noble metal plating is further applied thereon.
The plating solution used in this noble metal plating step may contain a single noble metal or two or more different noble metals. As the noble metal plating solution, a plating solution similar to that used for ordinary noble metal plating is used. The above precious metal plating is performed at a solution temperature of 40 to 60℃ and a current density of 0.2 to 1.0A/ dm2 .
A noble metal plating layer of 0.2 to 5μ can be formed by performing the process for ~10 minutes.

As explained above, the present invention employs a method in which a titanium-based material is treated with a treatment solution containing fluoride, then palladium strike plating is applied, and then precious metal plating is applied on top of this.
A noble metal plating layer with excellent adhesion and beautiful luster can be reliably formed without applying nickel plating before applying noble metal plating. Moreover, since the method of the present invention does not form a nickel plating layer below the noble metal plating layer, products plated with precious metals by the method of the present invention have excellent corrosion resistance regardless of the thickness of the precious metal plating layer, and are superior to conventional methods. As such, there is no need to form the noble metal plating layer thicker than necessary. Furthermore, even if a part of the precious metal plating layer is scratched on a product plated with precious metals using the method of the present invention, corrosion will not proceed from the scratched area, unlike products plated using the conventional method. There is no risk that the precious metal plating layer will peel off, and a beautiful appearance can be maintained for a long period of time.
