Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the corrosion resistance of a gold plated case for a wrist watch, by forming a chromate film contg. a specified amount of a silane coupling agent on the case to stably seal the pinholes. CONSTITUTION:A gold plated case for a wrist watch is dipped in a chromating soln. contg. 0.2-2wt% silane coupling agent such as N-(2-aminoethyl)-3- aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane. The case is then washed and dried. Since the resulting chromate film seals the pinholes in the gold plating and prevent electrolytic corrosion from the pinholes, the corrosion resistance of the gold plated case can be improved.

Conventional gold-plated cases for watches have not been subjected to any particular surface treatment other than plating, and have poor corrosion resistance.However, using the chromate treatment solution containing the silane coupling agent of the present invention, gold By sealing pinholes in the plating layer, it has become possible to significantly improve corrosion resistance.

In conventional gold-plated watch cases, electrolytic corrosion of nickel from the base nickel plating occurs through pinholes in the gold-plated layer, and then corrosion of the base metal progresses. , the corrosion resistance was poor. In addition, some attempts have been made to seal the pores using only a chromate treatment solution, but this has not been put to practical use because the film falls off after about a week and lacks stability.
