- the crystal growth step 5 is interrupted when the thin film 41 is grown to some extent, and in this surface treatment step 6, the surface of the thin film 41 is subjected to a treatment such as polishing or cleaning. Therefore, the flatness (flatness) is improved.
- the crystal growth process 5 is resumed, the crystal growth is reset, and the crystal growth is resumed with the surface of the thin film 41 having high flatness (flatness) again as the starting point of the growth surface. Therefore, the crystal growth of the thin film 41 can be enhanced.
- the surface treatment step 6 is provided as a step of rearranging the surface of the thin film 41 in an intermediate state with an auxiliary interposition between the steps in order to promote such good crystal growth. Depending on the implementation, it can be arbitrarily selected.
- a confirmation step 7 for confirming the thin film 41 is provided.
- a desired quality in particular, whether or not the thickness has been reached is determined, and it is determined that the quality of the thin film 41 to the workpiece 4 is good (has reached a predetermined thickness) If the process proceeds to the next step and it is determined that the quality is poor (having not reached the predetermined thickness), the process returns to the crystal growth step 5 again to restart the formation of the thin film 41.
- necessary steps such as a step 71 for exchanging the aqueous solution 53 may be interposed. In this example, for example, when the thickness of the thin film 41 reaches about 10 ⁇ m, the process proceeds to the next finishing step 8.
- a finishing step 8 is performed.
- the surface of the thin film 41 on the viewing side is subjected to processing as required, such as predetermined polishing. Appropriate selections are made to enhance the decorative effect of the product or to meet the product standards.
- this finishing step 8 for example, mirror polishing, matte finish, matte finish, etc., hard or soft looks, barrel polishing, electrolytic polishing, magnetic polishing, buffing, etc., various polishing apparatuses and polishing materials, or these In order to meet the finishing requirements as wide as possible.
- the surface of the thin film 41 can be finished to a sufficient quality, so that the finishing step 8 can be omitted depending on the product.
- the cutting process 9 is performed.
- the workpiece 4 processed through the above processes is cut and formed according to a product drawing or the like.
- CAD / CAM software and a CNC cutting machine it is possible to manufacture not only simple cutting but also, for example, a complicated guilloché dial.
- the processing from the workpiece 4 to the timepiece dial 10 is completed.
- the timepiece dial 10 of this example manufactured as described above has the polishing processing unit 40 subjected to surface polishing on the surface in a state of being cut and sliced from a material having a pearl layer (white butterfly shell).
- the aragonite structure has been described as the crystal form constituting the thin film 41.
- the crystal form of the thin film 41 is not limited to the aragonite structure, and is a crystal structure of calcium carbonate. Any other crystal form (such as calcite structure) may be used as long as it has an effect.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing an example of a front view in which the timepiece dial 10 manufactured as described above is mounted on the surface of a movement mechanism unit (not shown) of the timepiece main body 11.
- This example shows a wristwatch, and in the state of being worn on the wrist, any incident light on the watch dial 10 is attenuated reliably and appropriately by the thin film 41 and the unevenness of the light is alleviated.
- the conventional watch dial made of layers it is possible to always emit elegant and calm reflected light, so that it is possible to bring out an elegant and noble luxury to humans who see the watch dial 10 become.
- the watch dial 10 product circular piece having a radius of about 1.5 cm
- reflected light from the surface is visually compared with the work 4 before the thin film 41 is grown on the surface.
- the light is strong and has a shiny luster
- the color change caused by the interference color is slightly fine, and the blue system is seen from any angle.
- the reflected light on the surface of the pearl layer can be appropriately attenuated / scattered, and thus it is possible to foster a modest and calm feeling.
- it can be easily implemented as compared with a conventionally known method for producing a calcium carbonate thin film crystal, can be applied to a wide range of materials, and can stably produce a large amount of products, so its utility value is extremely high.
- Example 1 in which crystal growth is performed in the present example shown in FIG. 2 will be described.
- a circular petri dish-shaped container consisting of a lid 58 and a dish 57 having a diameter of about 120 mm and a height of about 10 mm
- a workpiece 4 having a circular disk shape and a diameter of about 30 mm and a thickness of about 0.2 mm is prepared.
- the aqueous solution 53 was formed by inflowing and mixing, and an experiment was performed to determine the minimum required amount of the aqueous solution 53 with this setting. As a result of operation for about 64 hours at a supply rate of the aqueous solution 53 of 5.7 ml / min for each of the two inflow passages 12a, it is confirmed that the thin film 41 having a thickness of about 15 ⁇ m is formed if the aqueous solution 53 is about 110 cc to 120 cc. From this, it was confirmed that the liquid volume was sufficient at this level.
- the supply rate of the aqueous solution from the flow path 52 into the container should be increased in accordance with the increase (volume) of the amount of the aqueous solution 53 in the container. Then, when the workpiece 4 was attached to the 6 to 7 sheets 57, the aqueous solution 53 having a supply rate of about 6.4 ml / min and a supply amount of about 40 cc was required.
- Embodiment 2 will be described in which the upper side of the plate 57 is opened without using the lid 58, the work 4 is attached to the sheet 54 and fixed to the plate, and two kinds of aqueous solutions are dropped.
- the procedure of instillation is carried out on the workpiece 4 in a state where a mixed aqueous solution of calcium chloride concentration 20 mM and magnesium chloride concentration 100 mM and an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate concentration 20 mM are immersed in the supersaturated aqueous solution 53 at a rate of 6 ml / min. Let it drip.
- the supersaturated aqueous solution 53 of calcium carbonate was circulated at a speed at which 55 cc was replaced in about 9 minutes by driving a drain pump (not shown) so that a new aqueous solution was always supplied.
- crystal growth of the thin film 41 was recognized to a thickness of about 7 ⁇ m.
- Example 3 in which crystal growth is performed in the above-described another example shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
- the size and thickness of the work 4 used is the same as in the above case, but since a larger container is used, a larger amount of work 4 can be accommodated.
- a 20 mM calcium chloride aqueous solution and a 100 mM magnesium chloride aqueous solution are introduced from the flow path 12 ′, and a 20 mM sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution is introduced from the flow path 52 ′ into the dish 57 ′.
- an automatic driving apparatus / system capable of continuously producing the timepiece dial of the present invention can be configured by appropriately selecting and combining elements according to the implementation conditions.
