- the present invention relates to a high-strength titanium alloy useful as a material for jewelry such as a watch case, a band, a bracelet, an earring, a vendant, a necklace, an eyeglass frame, and a product as described above manufactured by the alloy; and It relates to useful methods for producing such products.
- Titanium has excellent corrosion resistance, does not change over time such as discoloration, and has a high (strength / specific gravity) ratio. Therefore, titanium is expected to be a suitable material for wearable products such as accessories.
- materials used for accessories have been required to have biocompatibility that does not cause allergy to the human body, and from this viewpoint, titanium, which is a typical nonmetal allergic material, is used as a material for accessories. Attention has been paid, and its use as a material for the above-mentioned various accessories has been spreading in place of the conventionally used metal materials such as stainless steel.
- Jewelry is required to have good surface and good shape and complex shape due to its nature. In addition, it is also required to be robust enough not to be damaged during use in daily life and to lose its beauty. Also, in order to obtain the beauty of the accessories, it is necessary to have not only good specularity but also various surface finish workability after mirroring (for example, hairline properties shown in Examples described later). is necessary. Moreover, from the viewpoint of mechanical workability, it is required that, for example, a large number of fine micro-holes can be easily added.
- titanium alloy has a high strength by adding a large amount of alloying elements to g; it is superior to industrial pure titanium in terms of flaw resistance, but is inferior in workability and is a precision delicate machine required for accessories. There is a drawback that the molding design is restricted due to the difficulty of machining.
- Most titanium alloys also contain alloying elements that are not biocompatible, such as A1, Ni, V, and Cr. Moreover, since these alloy elements are relatively expensive, they have the disadvantage of increasing the material cost.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-612196 proposes a wear-resistant titanium alloy in which titanium carbide is dispersed to improve the wear resistance of titanium, and this titanium alloy is used as a material for accessories.
- titanium carbide is too hard and minute drilling shortens the drill life significantly.
- a free-cutting titanium alloy in which inclusions such as sulfides are dispersed to improve machinability and free-cutting properties is also known (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-42490). Inclusions are too soft to be effective in improving the flaw resistance, and coarse inclusions Presence also hinders mirror finishing.
- the improvement of materials by conventional manufacturing techniques does not necessarily lead to the improvement of performance as accessories.
- a technique proposed to improve the flaw resistance by applying a hard coating to the surface of pure titanium; for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-180478
- Metal luster is lost, and the color of the product is darkened, resulting in a problem in decorativeness, which has the disadvantage of reducing the appeal of accessories.
- titanium used as a base material itself is easily scratched, so that it is damaged during handling before processing before surface treatment, and the commercial value is reduced.
- Ti- 3 A 1-2.5 V titanium alloy which has properties intermediate between pure titanium for industrial use and the above-mentioned titanium alloys, may be used. This alloy has scratch resistance, workability and cost performance. A1 and V, which do not say that the required characteristics are satisfied, and are difficult to adapt to vacation. Despite the above-mentioned drawbacks, titanium alloys are sometimes used as a material for jewelry, but their use is very limited.
- Titanium which has excellent material properties, will not only be widely used for decorative items and general everyday products, but also for decorative items, robustness, processability, biocompatibility, and cost. It is desired to establish a new titanium material that satisfies the above and establish a product manufacturing technology using the titanium material.
- the present invention has been made under such circumstances, and its object is to provide excellent decorativeness and aesthetics, to prevent scratches and dents, etc., and to have good machinability.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength titanium alloy useful as a material for jewelry, a product as described above manufactured by the alloy, and a useful method for manufacturing such a product.
- the titanium alloy of the present invention which can achieve the above-mentioned target includes Fe: 0.20 to 0.8% by mass and 0: 0.20 to 0.6% by mass, the balance being T
- This is a high-strength titanium alloy that has the gist of the point consisting of i and inevitable impurities.
- the preferred ranges of Fe and ⁇ are Fe: 0.3 to 0.5% by mass, and 0: 0.3 to 0.5% by mass, depending on the required properties.
- the alloy may be designed by appropriately combining their contents.
- each of the above titanium alloys is useful as a material for plant products that require strength.
- these titanium alloys are also excellent in workability, so the characteristics are most effective when the product is used as accessories such as watch cases, bands, bracelets, earrings, pendants, necklaces, and eyeglass frames. It is exhibited in.
- the surface Vickers hardness is at least 20 times higher than the internal picker hardness.
- a specific manufacturing method for making the surface Vickers hardness 20 or more higher than the internal Vickers hardness includes the following configuration. That is, while the material temperature is (? Transformation point-200 ° C) or more, hot forging is performed at a strain rate of 10 / sec or more, and at least one of the following (a) and (b) is performed. It is only necessary to operate in a process that satisfies the requirements.
- the material temperature during hot forging needs to be (5 transformation points-200 ° C.) or higher, but the upper limit is preferably 950 ° C.
- the present inventors have developed a material that affects the conditions under which flaws are generated, in particular, the flaw generation that is visually recognized for the beauty of accessories.
- the factors were examined from various angles. First of all, scratches caused by scratching in daily life are accompanied by large plastic deformation on the surface of the material and its surrounding area, and the naked eye is not only affected by the foreign matter itself, but also by the deformation around these scratches. It was found that the surface was recognized as a surface flaw, including the irregularities.
- the width and depth of the flaws depend on the hardness and crystal grain size of the main phase. I found to do. In other words, the higher the hardness and the finer the crystal grain size, the more the uneven area of the flaw was suppressed. The reason is considered that the deformation resistance increases as the crystal grains become harder, so that the deformation of the crystal grains in plastic deformation such as indentation becomes smaller and the flaws become smaller.
- the present inventors first studied means for strengthening the ⁇ phase, which is stable at room temperature, as a main phase, in which accessories are used for alloy design.
- ⁇ phase which is stable at room temperature, as a main phase, in which accessories are used for alloy design.
- the material is hard and sticky, making it difficult to process and making the material expensive
- the drill life when drilling small holes of 1 mm or less is reduced. Became clear.
- the decrease in drill life was relatively small with the increase in strength due to precipitation strengthening and dispersion strengthening due to the precipitation phase.
- precipitation strengthening there is a limit to the increase in strength obtained.
- the present inventors considered that elements for solid solution strengthening of the ⁇ phase were minimized, and further strengthening was supplemented with elements for precipitation strengthening.
- This precipitation phase was also expected to have the effect of suppressing the grain growth of the ⁇ phase and reducing the grain size. Furthermore, the conditions of the added elements were examined on the premise that a large effect could be obtained with a small amount of addition, high safety for living bodies, and low cost.
- oxygen is the most suitable element for solid solution strengthening
- T i C titanium carbide
- H v Vickers hardness
- (S) is said to improve the free-cutting properties and may be used for titanium alloys, but sulfides are too soft to improve the II-dimensional flaw.
- Fe was firstly selected as the optimal element for precipitation strengthening of the asphalt phase.
- Fe has a low solid solution amount in the sponge phase, has a high ability to form and strengthen the ⁇ phase, has excellent biosafety, and is extremely low-cost.
- Ni, Cr, and Cu were expected to have similar effects, they did not reach Fe in terms of enhancing ability and biocompatibility.
- the present inventors have further studied the optimal element for strengthening the precipitation of the sphing phase, and have found that a combination of iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) is more effective.
- Si has a feature that it has a small amount of solid solution in the sponge phase and is easy to form a compound (silicide) with Ti, and it can also be expected to have an effect of refining a crystal grains.
- This Si has excellent biocompatibility and is available in extremely cheap form, for example, Hue mouth silicon (a compound of Fe and Si).
- the titanium alloy of the present invention is obtained by adding Fe simultaneously with ⁇ , or by adding Fe and Si simultaneously with 0, whereby both the flaw resistance and the piercing property are improved. It has been significantly improved. That is, the present invention Contains Fe: 0.2-0.8% by mass and ⁇ : 0.20-0.6% by mass, respectively, or Fe: 0.2-1.0% by mass, : High-strength titanium alloy containing 0.15 to 0.60 mass% and Si: 0.20 to 1.0 mass%, with the balance being Ti and unavoidable impurities. In terms of composition, scratch resistance and workability were superior to those of the Ti 13 A 1-2.5 V alloy. These titanium alloys also had the effect of reducing the hot deformation resistance due to the presence of the ⁇ phase.
- Fe 0.20 to 0.8 mass S% or 0.2 to 1.0 mass% Fe content is 0.20 mass% (0.2 mass% when Si is contained) ), The effect of improving the flaw resistance and machinability is poor. Even if added over 0.8% by mass (1.0% by mass when Si is contained), these effects are saturated.
- the Fe content is excessively peeled off, the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy decreases, and when the titanium alloy is subjected to a surface treatment such as gold plating to manufacture an accessory, the titanium treatment is performed by a plating solution. This has the adverse effect of erosion of the surface of the tin alloy. If the Fe content is less than 0.2% by mass (0.2% by mass when Si is contained), the deformation resistance in hot working increases, and the precise molding required for accessories is required.
- the preferred range of the Fe content is 0.3 to 0.5% by mass (0.3 to 0.7% by mass when Si is contained). It works best. Note that Si has a tendency to improve corrosion resistance, and is harder to diffuse than Fe and is stable to heat. Therefore, when Si is added, Fe is stabilized. Therefore, it can contain more Fe (ie, 0.8 mass ⁇ 1.0 mass%) than when Fe is added alone. Will be.
- the preferred SSK with 0 content is 0.3 to 0.5% by mass (0.2 to 0.40% by mass when Si is contained). It is exhibited in.
- the content of Si is less than 0.20% by mass, the effect of improving flaw and machinability is poor. Even if the content exceeds 1.0% by mass, these effects are saturated and the content of Si is increased. When the amount is excessive, hot workability is reduced, and adverse effects such as cracking occur during forging and the like.
- the preferred range of the Si content is 0.40 to 0.80% by mass, and within this range, the effect of adding Si is maximized.
- the work hardened state can be maintained on the surface. For example, if the mold temperature is lower than the recovery temperature, the material is cooled almost simultaneously with the deformation of the material, the material temperature near the surface becomes lower than the recovery temperature, and the work hardened state is frozen. Alternatively, even if the mold temperature is high and cooling is not performed at the time of processing, it is considered that the hardness of the surface portion can be substantially increased if cooling can be performed before softening due to recovery proceeds sufficiently.
- the manufacturing conditions under which surface hardening can be effectively performed only by hot working are as follows. That is, when the material temperature is higher than (? 200 transformation point), hot forging is performed at a strain rate of 10-'nosec or more, and at least the following (a) and (b) The operation should be performed including the process that satisfies either of them.
- the transformation point is the transformation temperature of HI-3 or HI.
- the material temperature during hot forging must be equal to or higher than ( ⁇ transformation point-20 CTC), and the upper limit is 950. ° C. That is, when the material temperature exceeds 950, the thickness of the surface oxide layer increases and the time required for polishing becomes longer. In the case of a forged product having a small mass, a cooling rate of 10 / min or more can be obtained even in cooling, which is not active cooling. This includes cases in which such operations are performed.
- the strain rate hot forging for 10 seconds or more, and the cooling rate: 10 2 seconds or less after processing is completed.
- the operation of the present invention includes a step that satisfies at least one of the above (a) and (b), whereby the effect of the present invention can be obtained. Operation will be even more effective.
- the hardness of the area limited to the surface debris can be increased by more than 20 in terms of Vigicurs hardness than that of the inside.
- the reasons for limiting each requirement in the above manufacturing conditions are as follows. First, when the material temperature is lower than ( ⁇ transformation point-200 ° C), the deformability of the material is reduced, and surface cracking may occur during hot working such as hot forging. Even if the mold temperature exceeds 50 O'C, the effect of increasing the surface hardness can be obtained, and if other requirements are satisfied, the surface hardness is expressed by the vis- Although it can be increased by 20 or more, when the mold temperature is 50 O'C or less, the effect of increasing the surface hardness by the mold can be obtained. When the strain rate during forging is 10-'/ sec or more, the surface hardness is higher than that of the inside, but at a strain rate less than 10 / sec, the surface hardness is the same level as the inside. In other words, machining is completed in a short time,
- the surface hardness becomes the same level as the inside. However, the cooling rate within 1 0 seconds after the completion of forging: 1 0 2 ° C / min to start more cooling, the material temperature 5 0 O 'C If the cooling is continued until the temperature becomes below, the hardness of the surface becomes higher than that of the inside.
- the above manufacturing conditions basically assume the final hot forging conditions, and the effects of the present invention can be obtained as long as the final hot forging satisfies the above conditions.
- preliminary hot working for example, hot rolling or hot forging
