Description
本発明は、亜鉛、銅と/または銀を含む金ベースの合金から、部品あるいは層を形成する電気鋳造方法と、この方法により得られた部品または層に関する。特に本発明は、300μmのオーダの厚さの合金の層を、基板上に堆積する方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an electroforming method for forming a part or layer from a gold-based alloy containing zinc, copper and / or silver and to the part or layer obtained by this method. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for depositing a layer of an alloy on the order of 300 μm on a substrate.
金と銅に加えてカドミウムを含有するアルカリ性の電気浴(alkaline galvanic bath)内の電気分解により金合金の電気メッキ方法は公知である。カドミウムは、毒性金属であるので、様々な法律がカドミウムの使用を禁じている。 Methods for electroplating gold alloys by electrolysis in an alkaline galvanic bath containing cadmium in addition to gold and copper are known. Since cadmium is a toxic metal, various laws prohibit the use of cadmium.
この種の問題を解決するために、特許文献1は、従来の金合金(Au、Cu、Cd)の電解析出方法(electrolytic deposition method )において、カドミウムを亜鉛で置換する方法を、既に提案している。 In order to solve this type of problem, Patent Document 1 has already proposed a method of replacing cadmium with zinc in the conventional electrolytic deposition method of gold alloys (Au, Cu, Cd). ing.
しかし、この方法は、10μmオーダの厚さの金亜鉛銅合金の層の堆積を開示するのみである。さらにまた、特許文献1は、堆積された最終合金の組成に関しては、詳細な情報を開示していない。 However, this method only discloses the deposition of a layer of gold-zinc-copper alloy with a thickness on the order of 10 μm. Furthermore, Patent Document 1 does not disclose detailed information regarding the composition of the deposited final alloy.
本発明の目的は、カドミウムを含有しない金、亜鉛、銅ベースの合金の数100μmの厚さの部品あるいは層を、電気鋳造する方法を提供することである。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for electroforming a few hundred μm thick parts or layers of gold, zinc and copper based alloys that do not contain cadmium.
本発明の他の目的は、良好なレベルの延性を維持しながら、硬度を改善したこの種の層を形成する方法を提供することである。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of forming such a layer with improved hardness while maintaining a good level of ductility.
本発明の方法は、88〜94重量%の金と、X(2と4の間の数)重量%の銅と/又は銀と、2X重量%の亜鉛とを有する金合金の層を電気鋳造する方法であり、この方法は、
(A)金属基板をアノードを含むアルカリ電解浴内に浸すステップと、
前記浴は、シアン化金カリウムの形態の金塩と、シアン化銅の形態の銅塩と/又は酸化銀の形態の銀塩と、酸化亜鉛の形態の亜鉛塩と、シアン化ナトリウムと、水酸化ナトリウムと、酸(例えば、エチレンジアミン四酢酸)と、表面活性剤と、を含み、前記基板が、カソードを形成し、
(B)前記基板の表面上に金属製イオンを堆積するために、アノードとカソードの間に電圧を生成することにより、前記層を電気鋳造するステップと、
(C)電気メッキされた層が所定の厚さに達した時に、電圧を切るステップと、
を有する。
The method of the present invention electrocasts a layer of gold alloy having 88-94 wt% gold, X (a number between 2 and 4) wt% copper and / or silver and 2X wt% zinc. And this method is
(A) immersing the metal substrate in an alkaline electrolytic bath containing an anode;
The bath comprises a gold salt in the form of potassium gold cyanide, a copper salt in the form of copper cyanide and / or a silver salt in the form of silver oxide, a zinc salt in the form of zinc oxide, sodium cyanide and water. Sodium oxide, an acid (eg, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), and a surfactant, wherein the substrate forms a cathode;
(B) electroforming the layer by generating a voltage between an anode and a cathode to deposit metal ions on the surface of the substrate;
(C) turning off the voltage when the electroplated layer reaches a predetermined thickness;
Have
好ましくは、電圧は、前記(B)ステップの間変動させる。これにより、堆積時に、層の中に非均質相のαゴールドの結晶を生成する。この均質性の欠如により、結晶の超格子構造により堆積層の表面欠陥を減らす。 Preferably, the voltage is varied during the step (B). This produces non-homogeneous alpha gold crystals in the layer during deposition. This lack of homogeneity reduces surface defects in the deposited layer due to the crystal superlattice structure.
本発明の一実施例によれば、アノードとカソードの間の電圧を、前記(B)ステップの最終段階で減らし、堆積した層の表面領域内の金の濃度を増加させ、堆積した層の金色を強調する。 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the voltage between the anode and the cathode is decreased in the final stage of the step (B), the concentration of gold in the surface region of the deposited layer is increased, and the gold color of the deposited layer is increased. To emphasize.
本発明の他の態様においては、前記(B)ステップの後、少なくとも30分間、300℃から700℃の間の熱アニール・プロセスを行い、その後急冷(rapid quenching)する。 In another embodiment of the present invention, after the step (B), a thermal annealing process between 300 ° C. and 700 ° C. is performed for at least 30 minutes, and then rapid quenching is performed.
この点に関し、熱アニール・プロセスの温度は、AuZnの状態図(phase diagram)の「液相線」の温度カーブを、如何なる状況においても、超えてはならない。その理由は、液相から共融凝固(eutectic solidification)の間、α相とβ’相の2つの相での固化を引き起こし、冷却後、機械特性に目立った劣化を起こすことになる。この処理の間、この層の結晶構造は、部分的に均質化し、その後、急速硬化により形成プロセスで固化する。これにより、中間のα1またはα2の結晶相が、目的とする合金に対し、形成されるのを阻止する。 In this regard, the temperature of the thermal annealing process should not exceed the “liquidus” temperature curve of the AuZn phase diagram under any circumstances. The reason is that during the eutectic solidification from the liquid phase, solidification occurs in two phases, the α phase and the β ′ phase, and after cooling, the mechanical properties are noticeably deteriorated. During this treatment, the crystal structure of this layer is partially homogenized and then solidified in the forming process by rapid curing. This prevents the intermediate α1 or α2 crystal phase from forming for the target alloy.
本発明の方法は、電気鋳造された金合金部品に関し、この金合金は、88〜94重量%の金と、X(2と4の間の数)重量%の銅と/または銀と、2X重量%の亜鉛とを含有する金合金である。 The method of the present invention relates to an electroformed gold alloy part, the gold alloy comprising 88-94 wt% gold, X (number between 2 and 4) wt% copper and / or silver, 2X It is a gold alloy containing zinc by weight.
