Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a multicolored dial for a timepiece having stable quality at a low cost by coating the surface of a material to be treated with a different kind of metal, partially removing the metallic coating and carrying out nitriding to color the base material and to cause diffusion. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a Ti material A is coated with metallic Ni B to form a composite material and the Ni coating B is partially removed by etching. Nitriding is then carried out to color the Ti material A golden. At this time, the Ni coating undergoes no change. Thus, a muticolored dial for a timepiece having stable quality is obtd.

(Prior art) Traditionally, watch dials are mainly made of copper alloy materials, which are processed into the desired shape and then plated with nickel (hereinafter referred to as H1), silver (hereinafter referred to as Ao), and gold (hereinafter referred to as Au). It was made into a single layer or multiple layers to achieve corrosion resistance and high quality.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Plating requires complicated processes and expensive equipment, and at the same time has drawbacks such as poor adhesion and the possibility of rust. In addition, since Au and AQ are used, the raw material costs are very high, and even if local plating is performed to reduce raw material costs, the current technology for both process and equipment requires an additional 1i.
It has the disadvantage of being complicated and expensive. Generally speaking, Ag plating has many drawbacks such as very poor corrosion resistance and the need to apply clear lacquer after plating, which is not economical.

(Means to solve the problem) In order to add novelty to the design through multi-coloring, ensure higher quality than before, and reduce manufacturing costs, dissimilar metals are applied to the surface of the workpiece (base material). After partially removing dissimilar metals by coating and etching, nitriding (heat treatment) can be used to color the base material and improve adhesion by diffusion between the dissimilar metals. The present invention was completed by discovering that rolling is possible and that the thickness of the coated white metal can be controlled with high precision.
