[Problem to be solved by the invention] In recent years, wet plating has been replaced by PVD methods such as arc evaporation, sputtering, and ion plating, which have excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion, and abrasion resistance for these metal members. Dry plating methods such as plating method and CVD method have been attracting attention and being developed.

When a dry plating film is applied directly to a low melting point material using this dry plating method, the low melting point material evaporates in a high vacuum atmosphere due to the temperature rise in the vacuum layer, resulting in a decrease in corrosion resistance and a rough appearance on the surface. I couldn't come up with something that I was completely satisfied with.

[0005] In addition, in order to improve corrosion resistance, when a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating is used as an intermediate layer, the thickness is 50 μm.
Satisfactory corrosion resistance cannot be obtained without the above coating, and since it is harder than normal nickel plating, delamination occurs when subjected to impact.

Furthermore, in the case of a nickel plating layer alone,
The processing conditions for the dry plating method should be about 200°C or less, but if the temperature is higher than that, the low melting point material will evaporate together with the nickel plating layer, which can significantly impair the appearance, and even more so since it is a low-temperature process. There were problems such as poor adhesion.

[0007] The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, enables coating on a low-melting point material with good processability by dry plating at a high temperature equivalent to that of a heat-resistant base material, and improves adhesion, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance. The aim is to provide superior metal parts at low prices.

Next, using ion plating, which is a dry plating method, the base material 1 on which the nickel layer 2 and the nickel-phosphorus alloy layer 3 have been formed is set in a vacuum chamber of an ion plating device, and after being evacuated. Argon gas is introduced to set the internal pressure to 1 x 10-4 Pa, an acceleration voltage of 50 V is applied to the base material 1, and the argon gas is ionized with an anode current of 40 A.

Next, nitrogen gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber, and the internal pressure is increased to 7×10− by using a mixed gas with argon gas as the reaction gas.
The titanium metal in the evaporation source is irradiated with an electron beam that is maintained at 1 Pa and generated at an appropriate acceleration voltage, and the titanium vapor and nitrogen gas that are generated are ionized in the plasma to form nitrides, which are nitrides of Group 4a elements in the periodic table. A titanium film is formed to a thickness of about 1 μm.

Furthermore, the introduction of nitrogen gas was stopped, and the gold alloy evaporation source in the same apparatus was irradiated with an electron beam to vaporize the gold alloy, thereby forming a gold alloy coating with a thickness of about 0.3 μm on the titanium nitride coating. A dry plating film 4 of a titanium nitride film and a gold alloy film is formed on the nickel-phosphorous alloy layer 3.

The reason why the metal member of the present invention has better corrosion resistance, adhesion, and abrasion resistance than the conventional single intermediate layer of nickel or nickel-phosphorus alloy is that the relatively soft nickel layer 2 resists impact and stress. The nickel-phosphorus alloy layer 3 on top of the nickel-phosphorus alloy layer 3 has a crystalline structure formed by electroplating and has a high hardness, and is further coated with a dry plating film that is even harder. This is because it has a structure.

The substrate 1 on which the nickel layer 2 and the nickel-phosphorus alloy layer 3 were formed was placed in a vacuum chamber of an arc evaporation apparatus, and after exhausting air, required bombardment cleaning was performed.

A mixed gas of argon, nitrogen, and methane is ionized and reacted with zirconium that was similarly ionized from a metal zirconium target to produce a gray-colored carbon nitride of about 3 μm thick, which is a carbonitride of group 4a elements in the periodic table. A dry plating film 4 of zirconium nitride was formed. In this case as well, the corrosion resistance and adhesion were satisfactory.

It has become possible to provide a metal member with excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion, and wear resistance that cannot be obtained with an intermediate layer having a composition other than the conventional combination of nickel and nickel-phosphorus alloy. Furthermore, since the base material is a low-melting point material, it has good workability and can be produced by ordinary dry plating at high temperatures, reducing manufacturing costs and producing inexpensive, high-quality metal parts.
