Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide ornamental parts excellent in wear resistance and having ornamental appearance requiring no secondary working by applying composite gold (alloy) plating in which the grains of one or more kinds among ceramics series, such as metal oxides, and high polymer compounds having respectively specified grain sizes are dispersed to the uppermost layer. CONSTITUTION:In the case of a watchcase, the grains of 0.05-1mum grain size of one or more kinds among metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides, metal borides, and self-lubricating high polymer compounds and a cationic surface active agent are added to an Au-Ni alloy plating bath (citric acid bath) of about 23K. Then, stirrer agitation is carried out, and the resulting composite plating of an Au-Ni alloy 1 and ZrO2 2 as the above grains is applied to the uppermost layer of a material 3. By this method, the ornamental parts coated with the composite film satisfying both external appearance and wear resistance can be obtained, and these ornamental parts are applicable to watchbands, spectacles frames, tiepins, etc.

Conventionally, decorative parts have been plated with various gold or gold alloys in terms of decorativeness and corrosion resistance.

Therefore, decorative parts, especially watch cases, are prone to wear and must be made thicker to satisfy both the decorative appearance and quality. However, in this case as well, the adhesion decreases due to the thickness.
The problem of high costs could not be avoided.

In addition, in composite gold plating, the appearance becomes matte due to the dispersed fine particles, and functionally it improves wear resistance, but in order to be used as decorative parts, finish gold plating is applied or mechanical polishing is used to obtain a mirror surface. The problem was that the total cost was higher than that of conventional gold plating.

[Function] The dispersed fine particles used in the present invention are ceramic-based hard particles such as metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides, metal borides, etc., and can be applied as long as they are insoluble in the plating solution. It is not limited. However, in order to obtain a clear decorative appearance that does not require secondary processing, this selection is important and it is necessary to use particles with fine and uniform particle size.

As the particle size of the dispersed particles increases, the wear resistance tends to improve, but on the other hand, the appearance becomes noticeably cloudy, making it difficult to apply as a final plating. On the other hand, when it becomes smaller,
At the same time, it hardly contributes to wear resistance, and at the same time it aggregates in the air, making it difficult to obtain a uniform coating. Therefore, a suitable particle size is 0.05 to 1 μm, and within this range, a composite coating that satisfies both appearance and wear resistance can be obtained.

In addition to ceramic hard particles, it is also possible to use self-lubricating polymer compounds.

This is because by dispersing particles with self-lubricating properties into the film, the surface friction coefficient of the film is reduced and the wear resistance is improved, such as fluororesin.

Addition of a surfactant is important in order to disperse these fine particles in the plating film. Particularly when the particle size is small, it is added to improve dispersibility and prevent agglomeration. It is also added to give positive charge to the particles and increase the dispersion concentration in the film. For these purposes, cationic surfactants are mainly used.

Various types of gold plating baths, which are matrix metals, used in the present invention can be used, such as 24K plating and gold alloy plating. However, the harder the matrix metal itself, the better the wear resistance when used as a composite coating, and the use of the composite gold plating as a finishing layer. Gold alloy plating etc. are suitable.

These were subjected to a wear test in comparison with an Au-Ni alloy plating film obtained without adding anything to the plating solution. For the abrasion test, a Suga abrasion tester manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. was used, and an alumina wrapping film with 9 micron abrasive grains was used as the mating material.

Adhesion and corrosion resistance are determined after each plating is applied to the watch case.
Adhesion was determined by bending the film at 90 degrees and examining the degree of peeling, and corrosion resistance was determined by testing 48°C in artificial sweat and artificial seawater at 40°C.
After soaking for half an hour, the occurrence of corrosion and discoloration was examined.

In the examples of the ZrO2 composite plating, it can be seen that as the particle size increases, the wear resistance improves in the range of 2μ. However, if it exceeds 1μ, cloudiness occurs and the appearance cannot be applied as a decorative part. On the contrary, no improvement in wear resistance was observed when the thickness was less than 0.05 μm.

When using various types of fine particles with the same particle size, there was some variation, but none was specifically superior and no significant difference was observed between the fine particles. Compared to normal gold plating that does not contain gold, the wear resistance was improved by about twice as much. This variation is due to differences in the concentration of particles dispersed in the film, variations in particle size itself, and the like.
