Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily manufacture the retaining pawl having excellent corrosion resistance at low cost by forging a Ti alloy having specific compsn. constituted of Ti, Al, V and Mo by the use of the superplastic condition. CONSTITUTION:The retaining pawl for gems and precious stone of ornaments is manufactured by using the superplastic condition of a Ti alloy constituted of Ti100-x-y-zAlxVyMoz (where 2<=x<=5, 5<=y<=12, 0.5<=z<=8 and 14<=1.5Xy+z<=21 are regulated). At this time, the above Ti alloy gives superplasticity under the temp. condition of about 700 to 750 deg.C, is easily forged in the air, is worked into the fine shape at low cost and, if required, is furthermore subjected to plating. In this way, good workability and the improvement of the ornamental effect can be given by the above Ti alloy having excellent corrosion resistance.

In general, copper alloys are processed into the shape of fixed claws for gems and precious stones, then plated with gold or other metal, mounted with gems and precious stones, and fixed with caulking, or loaded with gems and precious stones and fixed in the claw. After fixing with caulking, it is plated with gold or other metal to make jewelry and precious stones, and it was widely used because it was inexpensive and easy to work with.

With copper alloys, when plating is applied after the jewelry/precious stones have been fixed, the contact area between the copper alloy base material and the jewelry/precious stones is not plated, which significantly reduces corrosion resistance.
When fixing precious stones, there is a problem in that the plating layer cracks due to caulking, which significantly reduces corrosion resistance.

For this reason, when stainless steel or titanium alloy, which has good corrosion resistance, is used as the base material for the claw, the workability is poor, and the fine processing required for fixed claws for jewelry and precious stones cannot be performed.

Generally, a titanium alloy of Tl-6%A7-4%V is used in aircraft jet engines, but it requires heat-sensing processing at a temperature of 900°C or higher, and TZM material with high temperature resistance is used. However, TZM material has poor oxidation resistance and must be forged in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere, requiring an expensive mold and complicated forging equipment.

It has corrosion resistance and hardness equivalent to V-4%V titanium alloy, has a low superplasticity onset temperature of 700 to 750°C, and can be superplastically forged in the atmosphere using an inexpensive oxidation-resistant wasburoy material as a mold. It is possible to use a mold that is flexible, a forging device that does not have a vacuum chamber, etc., thereby reducing manufacturing costs, and at the same time achieving micro-shape formation through superplastic forging.

Furthermore, since the titanium alloy used in the present invention has excellent corrosion resistance, plating may be applied after fixing the gems/precious stones, or by fixing the gems/precious stones after plating, the plating may not be completely covered. Deterioration of corrosion resistance due to cracking of the plating layer can be prevented.
