Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the castability of an Au-Ag-Cu-Zn alloy without impairing the gold color thereof by adding a specific ratio of Ge and at need specific ratios of Fe, Cr and Co to said alloy. CONSTITUTION:0.05-2wt.% Ge is added to the ornamental Au alloy of K 12 - K 22 (50-92wt.% Au) consisting essentially of Au and compounding 3-35wt.% Ag 0.5-10wt.% Zn and 3-40wt.% Cu. One or more kinds among 0.01wt.% Fe, Cr and Co are furthermore added to said compounded components. The occlusion of gas in a molten metal is reduced and the structure of said alloy after sintering can be fined by the addition of Ge. The characteristics of Ge can be furthermore promoted by the addition of Fe, Cr and Co.

[Prior Art] Au is one of the few colored metals, along with Cu, and has been used as jewelry for a long time because of its beautiful golden color and ease of processing. However, since it is too soft as it is, it is generally used by adding Ag, Cu, Zn, etc. to increase its hardness and strength.

Conventionally, the amount of Au in decorative Au alloys has generally been determined from 50 to 92% by weight in the cylinder, depending on the purpose and color tone, considering the purpose of decorative use. Ag is 3-35% by weight, Cu is 3-40% by weight, Zn

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, the conventional alloy system having the above-mentioned structure is usually melted and cast in the atmosphere, but the blended elements Ag, Cu, and Zn very easily absorb gas. However, there is a problem in that it causes defects such as fluidity of the molten metal, cavities in the ingot, resulting in a decrease in workability, and roughness on the surface of the cast body.

In addition, these alloys have low hardness of the casting itself, so when securing a gemstone such as a diamond or ruby to a ring or necklace, for example, the strength of the retaining claw of the jewel is weak, so the holding of the claw tends to loosen. There is a problem in that it can lead to jewelry falling off.

In addition, in the present invention, the Ge content is 0.05 to 2% by weight.
The reason for limiting the amount is that adding more than 2% by weight will cause a significant drop in melting point and change in color, while adding less than 0.05% by weight will result in poor degassing effects, improved castability, or hardness. This is because the increase is insufficient.

On the other hand, the reason why the lower limit of the addition amount of Fe, Cr, and Co as secondary additive elements is limited to 0.01% by weight is that a synergistic addition effect with Ge cannot be expected if the addition is less than 0.01%. This is because addition of more than % by weight inhibits workability or has a rather negative effect on castability (fluidity).
