The present invention follows a conventional coating method and because there are many types and methods of coating can not list all of them, a preferred embodiment of the present application to the first method of coating the liquid metal 20 is divided into electrolytic coating and electroless coating and electrolytic The coating uses electric current and the electroless coating is coated by chemical reactions without using electricity. In other words, coating means that metal ions receive electrons and are reduced and adhere to a specific surface. Coating is most commonly applied by using electricity from the rectifier.

 However, in the present invention that can not provide electricity to the substrate (substrate), the needle made of synthetic resin, ceramics, rubber material is not electricity, so the metal is deposited on it can not be coated in this case most electroless coating or binder It is impregnated to coat the superficial body.

There are usually two methods of electroless coating, one of which is ① reduction coating ② substitution coating method. The reduction coating method is a coating method in which metal is precipitated through reduction reaction. Activates the substrate surface to "+" state. When controlling it, you will use a surfactant component.

1) Catalyst: Palladium of colloidal component is attached to the surface of activated plastic.

2) Accelerator: (Palladium) It removes Sn (Tin) which is contained in Palladium colloid and protects Pd and makes Pd Metal precipitate on the surface of synthetic resin.

3) Electroless chemical coating: Contains copper ions, ethylenethiamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and formaldehyde. Pd plays the role of catalyst, when Na OH raises the pH to 11 or higher. Aldehyde has a strong reducing effect, and electrons are generated at this time, and these electrons flow to copper ions, and copper ions are deposited on the Pd catalyst and coated.

The second substitution coating is as follows.

Substitution coating method is caused by the difference of oxidation / reduction power. Representative materials of substitution coating are Ni / Au, Ag coating and electrodeposit Ni on metal surface using the same method as electroless chemical copper coating method.

Then, when immersed in a solution containing liquid metal ions, the liquid metal ions are stronger than nickel, and the liquid metal ions forcibly take away the electrons inside the nickel without leaving the nickel metal in place. The silver is oxidized to become an ion, and the liquid metal receives electrons from nickel and is reduced to be electrodeposition. In the above, the overall incorporation and coating process and composition of the needle are described in detail. Liquid metal is extremely preferred for reinforcement, heat resistance, durability, anion and far-infrared emission, and the mixing amount is preferably 0.001 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the needle.

The density of the liquid metal is about five times that of conventional stainless steel, and the modulus of elasticity (Modulus) is at least three times higher than that of steel, the metal of the conventional needle, and especially -200 to 600 In the temperature range, the specific strength (strength / specific gravity) is superior to that of any industrial alloy, and the liquid metal (20) is about 5 times lighter than stainless steel, so the weight of the recession (3) can be extremely light and the heat conduction is also superior to that of stainless steel. Thermal expansion is about half that of stainless steel and is particularly useful for fire needles.

In particular, the conventional stainless steel needles are alloyed with iron or nickel, so there is a problem of rust or oxidation when used in the air or in a lot of humidity, underground or seaside, and prevents rust or corrosion oxidation problems that may occur during the distribution and storage of the needles. It can prevent.

As it is widely used according to the physical properties of the liquid metal 20, the liquid metal has a high strength and low modulus of elasticity, low resistance to the physiological rejection of body fluids, etc., has a bio-friendly characteristics, and the current liquid alloy material in sports In this application, it is possible to reduce the pain of patients during needle or foot needles with excellent lubricating power, and to produce a needle made of liquid metal material, which has high strength to weight, excellent corrosion resistance, and low modulus of elasticity. There is a purpose.

As such, the needle used for treating patients in one shot is composed of a liquid metal (20) alloy mainly composed of (Zr / zirconium) zirconium, and the liquid metal (20) improves surface properties based on the entire composition. Zirconium (6) (Zr / zirconium), niobium (7) (Nb / niobium) for improving workability, tantalum (8) (Ta / tantalum) for increasing corrosion resistance, and indium (9) (In / indium) and the like may be added to a certain amount of liquid metal needles.

As used herein, the liquid metal needle and its manufacturing method include a measuring needle, a needle, a long needle, and an acupuncture needle for skin care, wrinkle improvement, obesity needle for lipolysis for baldness, cosmetic treatment It can be applied evenly to needles, resin needles, injection needles, suture needles, and any needles.
