The present invention relates to improving the corrosion resistance of decorative hard silver ceramics made of titanium carbide (TiC). In recent years, decorative hard silver materials mainly composed of carbides such as TiC and WC have been widely used as decorative members because of their excellent hardness and strength. However, these sintered bodies contain metal elements such as Ni and Co as sintering aids for the purpose of promoting sintering.
Because of the localized batteries that occur between metals, corrosion progresses and, for example, there is a problem in that the coloring of the decorative member is impaired due to discoloration due to sweat or the like. In view of the above circumstances, the present inventor made extensive research efforts and found that chromium carbide (Cr 3 C 2 ) powder was added as a sintering aid to TiC raw material powder in a specific ratio.
After molding and firing, it was found that the corrosion resistance was improved and a hard silver ceramic suitable for decoration could be obtained. Based on the above findings, the present invention aims to provide decorative hard silver ceramics with excellent corrosion resistance. The decorative hard silver ceramic of the present invention is characterized by having TiC as a main component and containing 0.1 to 40% by weight of Cr 3 C 2 . In the decorative hard silver ceramics of the present invention, TiC is the main raw material, and Cr 3 C 2 is added as a sintering aid, but if the amount added is less than 0.1% by weight or exceeds 40% by weight, sintering will occur. Because it becomes defective,
It is important that the amount is set in the range of 0.1 to 40% by weight, preferably 3 to 20% by weight. Regarding the particle size of TiC and Cr3C2 raw powder,
In either case, the thickness is preferably 5 μm or less, preferably 2 μm or less. Then, as mentioned above, in order to obtain a suitable particle size, the raw material powder may be ground with a hard ball such as a ceramic ball or a cermet ball. for example,
If the balls are made of cermet balls, metal components will be mixed in due to their wear, so it is desirable to select grinding balls that have as little wear as possible. According to the above, a mixture of TiC raw material powder and Cr 3 C 2 raw material powder was press-molded and heated at 1500-1700℃.
By performing the firing in a vacuum furnace at 10 -1 to 10 -5 torr for 1 to 5 hours, decorative hard silver ceramics with excellent corrosion resistance can be obtained. Next, the present invention will be explained based on examples. [Example] Cr 3 C 2 powder (average particle size 7μm) was added to TiC raw powder (average particle size 1μm) according to the mixing ratio shown in Table 1.
m) was added, placed in a resin pot, and mixed and ground together with zirconia balls in acetone for 42 hours. Next, after drying this mixture, 4% by weight of paraffin was added and pressure molded at 1.5 ton/cm 2 . After removing the binder, it was fired in a vacuum oven at 1600° C. and 10 −4 torr for 5 hours. The sintered body thus obtained is polished to a mirror finish, and the color tone and
In addition, bending strength, Vickers hardness (Hv) and corrosion resistance were tested. The bending strength was measured according to the three-point bending test method of JIS-R-1601, and the corrosion resistance test was conducted by soaking the standard components of human sweat in artificial sweat, and by soaking in salt water ( Salt water spray test (JIS-Z-
2371-76). These results are shown in Table 1.

[Table] Sample numbers marked with * are outside the scope of the present invention.
The hardness marked with ** indicates that it cannot be measured due to poor sintering.
In the table, regarding the results of the corrosion resistance test, both the sweat resistance test and the salt spray test obtained similar results, and the ○ mark indicates that the decorative member has no discoloration or corrosion and no color deterioration. , × indicates that discoloration or corrosion is observed, the color tone gradually deteriorates, and the material is unsuitable as a decorative member. As is clear from Table 1, as a result of the corrosion resistance test, it was found that samples No. 2 to 7 had no discoloration or corrosion at all, and were excellent decorative members with no color deterioration. As shown, conventional TiC cermet containing 10% Ni by weight and TiC containing 20% by weight Mo 2 C and 20% Ni by weight
It was found that discoloration or corrosion was observed in the cermet, and the color tone gradually deteriorated. Samples Nos. 1 and 8 had poor sintering and were significantly inferior in strength and hardness, making them unsuitable as decorative members. It was found that the silver ceramic of this example has significantly superior hardness compared to conventional silver cermets while maintaining sufficient strength to be used as a decorative member . It was observed that the specific gravity tended to decrease and the color changed from silvery white to silvery. Furthermore, if the content of Cr 3 C 2 is in the range of 0.1 to 40% by weight in the sintered body, even if other ceramic balls such as alumina balls or cermet balls are used as hard balls for crushing raw materials, It is recognized that if the amount of unavoidable impurities mixed in due to ball wear is as small as possible, corrosion resistance will be excellent and hardness will be sufficiently large, and the lower the Cr 3 C 2 content, the lower the specific gravity, It was confirmed that the color tone changed from silver-white to silver, and that an excellent silver decorative member could be provided. As described above, compared to conventional silver cermets, the decorative hard silver ceramics exhibits strength that does not pose any problem in decorative applications, and has significantly improved corrosion resistance and hardness, resulting in long-term corrosion resistance. Because it does not cause scratches or scratches, it can be used on wall materials, watch cases,
It is used as decorative materials such as brooches, commemorative medals, and buttons.
