Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a kitchen knife of excellent corrosion resistance, edge sharpness, and beautiful golden appearance, and without metallic ions isolation by providing a stainless steel surface with a titanium coating layer and a titanium nitride coating layer respectively of specified thicknesses. CONSTITUTION:A kitchen knife of excellent corrosion resistance comprises a base material of stainless steel 3, covered with a titanium coating layer 2 of a thickness of 0.1-0.5mum and further coated with a titanium nitride coating layer 1 of a thickness in the range of 1.0-1.5mum. If the titanium coating is less than 0.1mum thick, the coating thickness cannot be uniform. If the thickness is 0.5mum, cohesion between the stainless steel base and titanium nitride cannot be maintained and durability for keeping edge sharpness is shortened. If the total thickness is less than 1.0mum, faults such as pinholes increase, resulting in the contact between the stainless steel and the titanium nitride coating. If the thickness is greater than 1.5mum, coating at the edge is rounded and sharpness as a kitchen knife is lost.

<Conventional technology> Corrosion resistance has been improved by coating the surface of stainless steel W4 cutlery with a titanium nitride (TiN) film with a thickness of around lu-1 and free of defects such as pinholes using physical marking methods. At the same time, attempts have been made in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 110769/1983 to prevent deterioration of the taste of dishes due to elution of metal ions in cooking cutlery.

However, the surface of the cooking cutlery had a conventional polishing finish and was rough with a surface roughness Ra of 50 nl+ (nanometers) or more, and the film J7 of titanium nitride after 1 μsn had the drawback that many pinholes were generated.

In the pinhole part of the titanium nitride coating film, the exposed stainless steel is left in the environment in contact with the more sensitive titanium nitride electrochemically, so that so-called galvanic erosion occurs, causing the uncoated stainless steel to deteriorate. It corrodes more severely than a single knife. For this reason, the appearance of cooking cutlery is poor, metal ions are more strongly eluted, and the properties of the coating are not only not improved but also have the opposite effect.

Effect> When a knife is coated with a highly corrosion-resistant material such as titanium nitride using physical vapor deposition (PVD), it will be treated as a highly corrosion-resistant ceramic unless there are defects such as pinholes in the coating. Since the surface of the knife is covered, it should be possible to obtain an ideal knife that does not rust and retains its sharpness. However, when a stainless steel cooking cutler that has been processed to have a normal surface roughness is coated with a titanium nitride film of 1.5 μm or less, the occurrence of pinholes in the film cannot be avoided.

If it is possible to suppress the electrochemical reaction between stainless steel and titanium nitride in the pinholes generated in this coating film, excellent corrosion resistance should be obtained. To this end, based on the idea that it is better to insert a metal film with a small potential difference between the stainless steel and the titanium nitride film, it is necessary to select the titanium metal, the appropriate thickness of the titanium film, and the thickness of the entire coating film. I found out. As a result, the corrosion resistance of the coated cutter was further improved.

By the way, the surface roughness of ordinary uncoated cooking cutlery is generally about Ra40 to 150n-, but the thickness of the titanium film coated on it is 0.1μ.
If it is less than -, the titanium film will not be uniformly coated on the surface of the cutter, and the second layer of titanium nitride film will come into contact with the stainless steel, so the titanium film needs to be 0.1 μm thick or more. However, if the titanium film is made too thick, it will not be possible to maintain the adhesion and hardness between the stainless steel base and titanium nitride when using the knife, and the durability to maintain sharpness will be shortened, so it is limited to 0.5 μm or less.

Furthermore, if the thickness of the entire coating film is made thinner than 1.0 μ-, defects such as pinholes become large and contact between the stainless steel and the titanium nitride film occurs, so the total thickness of the titanium metal layer and the titanium nitride layer is Limited to 1.0 μ or more gardens.
