Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved Rh-Re alloy plating bath in an electrolytic rhodium plating applied on a contact part to aim the improvement of durability to prevent the damage and the deterioration of the contact surface due to the oxidation caused by the spark on a contact point which necessitates high sensitive electroconductivity and suffers radical spark due to the repeated on-off and an alloy plating film. <P>SOLUTION: The Rh-Re alloy plating thin film having the alloy ratio Rh:Re of 1.0:(0.1-1.0) and 0.1-10.0 μ film thickness using a plating bath having a Rh-Re alloy composition prepared by adding Re to a Rh plating bath, is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、金属ロジュウムと、同じく金属レニュウムをイオン化した溶液を用いて、電解技術により、ロジュウム・レニュウムの二元合金の、0.1ミクロン〜10.0ミクロンの厚みを有する薄膜を、提供する。  The present invention provides a thin film having a thickness of 0.1 μm to 10.0 μm of a binary alloy of rhodium and rhenium by electrolytic technique using a metal rhodium and a solution obtained by ionizing metal rhenium. .

パソコンを初めとし、家庭用電気機器、自動車のオートマチック機器等に、多数用いられているリード・スイッチの、接点部は、現在、激しいON−OFFの反復作動に、耐える為に,膜厚2.0〜5.0μのロジュウムめっきを施工し、ON=OFFに際して生じる、電気スパークによる高温と機械的消耗に耐えている。  The contact point of the reed switch, which is widely used in personal electric appliances such as personal computers, automatic appliances for automobiles, etc., has a film thickness of 2. A 0 to 5.0 micron rhodium plating is applied to withstand high temperatures and mechanical wear caused by electric sparks that occur when ON = OFF.

近年では,同スイッチのON−OFFの反復回数・通電電流の容量が大きくなり、ロジュウム膜の耐摩耗性・耐スパーク性の改良が望まれている。  In recent years, the number of repetitions of ON / OFF of the switch and the capacity of energization current have increased, and improvement of the wear resistance and spark resistance of the rhodium film is desired.

その為に、現在では、ロジュウム被膜の上に,ルテニュウム、又はイリジュウムの、めっきを施工する手段が用いられているが、これ等のめっきが未だ完全とはいえず、また、コスト面でも、マイナス要因となっている。  For this reason, currently, means for applying a plating of ruthenium or iridium on the rhodium film is used, but these platings are not yet complete, and the cost is negative. It is a factor.

本発明は、上記の欠点を解除する為に、金属表面技術を用いて、ロジュウムRh・レニュウムReの合金めっき被膜を形成し、この分野の電気接点に対応する性能の改善を試みた。  In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention attempted to improve the performance corresponding to the electric contacts in this field by forming an alloy plating film of rhodium Rh / Renium Re by using a metal surface technique.

また、本発明によるRh−Re合金被膜は、独特の青味を持った銀白色の色調を呈するので、その合金比率を、変動する事により、青銀白色から,青灰色と、色調の変動が出来、時計など装飾品の表面処理にも応用される。  In addition, the Rh—Re alloy coating according to the present invention exhibits a silver-white color tone with a unique bluish color. Therefore, by changing the alloy ratio, the color tone changes from blue-silver white to blue-gray. Can be applied to surface treatment of decorative items such as watches.

発明が解決しようとする課題Problems to be solved by the invention

りーど・スイッチの接点部は、電流のON−OFFの作動時に、スパークを発生する為に、ピン・ポイントで、高温度になり、此れが連続反復を繰り返す為に、接点部表面の温度が上昇し、通常の接点部のように、銅又は、その合金に、金めっきを施工した程度では、忽ち、接点の表面が、スパークにより、飛散したり、溶解又は、酸化し、本来の機能の働きを、損ねてしまう。  The contact point of the relay switch becomes a high temperature at the pin point to generate a spark when the current is turned on and off, and the temperature of the surface of the contact part repeats repeatedly. As the normal contact part rises, the surface of the contact is scattered, melted or oxidized by sparks to the extent that gold or copper is applied to copper or its alloy, and the original function The work of will be impaired.

その為に、リード・スイッチの場合は、接点部を、ガラス管の中に封入して、ガラス管の中を、真空又は、不活性ガスを充満し、酸化防止を行っている。  Therefore, in the case of a reed switch, the contact portion is enclosed in a glass tube, and the glass tube is filled with a vacuum or an inert gas to prevent oxidation.

更に、ON−OFFによる、発熱による消耗を、防止する為に、融点の高い、金属を、接点部に被服する必要がある。  Furthermore, in order to prevent wear due to heat generation due to ON-OFF, it is necessary to coat the contact portion with a metal having a high melting point.

課題を解決する手段Means to solve the problem

現在、リード・スイッチの接点部には、一般には、2〜5ミクロンのロジュウムめっきを施工している。用途によっては、その被膜の上に、更に、ルテニュウム或いは、イリジュウムのめっきを重ねて、その耐熱特性の向上を図っている。併し、この方法では、製作工程の、複雑さと、製品のコスト高が回避できない。  Currently, 2 to 5 micron rhodium plating is generally applied to the contact portion of the reed switch. Depending on the application, ruthenium or iridium plating is further stacked on the coating to improve its heat resistance. At the same time, this method cannot avoid the complexity of the manufacturing process and the high cost of the product.

課題を解決する手段として、本発明は、ロジュウムに対し、更に高融点で且つ、硬度を有し、更に、コスト・ダウンの期待が持てる金属を選択し、此れを、金属ロジュウムと、同一溶液中で、合金として、電解析出させ、所定の性能を保持した金属薄膜を提供する事を、開発した。  As a means for solving the problems, the present invention selects a metal having a higher melting point and hardness than rhodium, and that can be expected to reduce costs, and this is the same solution as metal rhodium. In particular, it has been developed to provide a metal thin film that is electrolytically deposited and maintains a predetermined performance as an alloy.

本発明では、金属ロジュウムと共析して、金属ロジュウムの特性を更に向上させる事に期待できる金属として、原子番号75のレニュウムReを採用した。  In the present invention, rhenium Re having an atomic number of 75 is employed as a metal that can be expected to eutect with the metal rhodium and further improve the properties of the metal rhodium.

金属レニュウムは、融点3180℃であり、この数値は、タングステン(W)に次ぐ、現在地球上で、発見されている金属で、2番目である。  Metallic rhenium has a melting point of 3180 ° C., which is the second metal that is currently found on earth after tungsten (W).

又、電解を行う時の、分解電位が、ロジュウムと近い値なので、合金めっきとして適合していると判断した。  Moreover, since the decomposition potential at the time of electrolysis was a value close to that of rhodium, it was judged to be suitable for alloy plating.
