Description

La présente invention concerne un alliage d'or gris sans nickel et sans cuivre présentant une dureté convenant en particulier aux horlogers, bijoutiers et joailliers. L'invention a également trait à un procédé de préparation de cet alliage.The present invention relates to a nickel-free and copper-free gray gold alloy having a hardness particularly suitable for watchmakers, jewelers and jewelers. The invention also relates to a process for preparing this alloy.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Il existe sur le marché deux principaux types d'alliages d'or gris, les alliages au nickel et les alliages au palladium, dans lesquels ces deux éléments interviennent comme blanchissants.There are two main types of gray gold alloys on the market, nickel alloys and palladium alloys, in which both are used as whiteners.

Le nickel avec son potentiel allergène tend à être abandonné. De plus, ses alliages exhibent une dureté et une déformabilité réduites qui se prêtent mal aux domaines de la bijouterie et de l'horlogerie.Nickel with its allergenic potential tends to be abandoned. In addition, its alloys exhibit reduced hardness and deformability that lend themselves poorly to the fields of jewelery and watchmaking.

De très nombreuses propositions ont donc été avancées pour remplacer le nickel.So many proposals have been made to replace nickel.

Ainsi, les demandes de brevet EP 1 227 166 (alliage AuCuMn), EP 1 010 768 (alliage AuCuPd) et JP 3130334 (alliage AuPdAgCu), proposent des alliages contenant du cuivre.Thus, patent applications EP 1 227 166 (AuCuMn alloy), EP 1 010 768 (AuCuPd alloy) and JP 3130334 (AuPdAgCu alloy), offer alloys containing copper.

L'ajout de cuivre permet de durcir les alliages mais il présente des inconvénients, notamment, une vitesse de refroidissement trop faible (lors de coulées en lingotière), et lors du traitement thermique, un durcissement non contrôlable et un risque de fissuration.The addition of copper makes it possible to harden the alloys but it has drawbacks, in particular, a cooling rate that is too low (during castings in the mold), and during the heat treatment, uncontrollable hardening and a risk of cracking.

De plus, l'augmentation de la concentration en cuivre se fait au détriment d'autres éléments ayant des effets blanchissants.In addition, the increase in the copper concentration is to the detriment of other elements having whitening effects.

En outre, le cuivre comporte un risque d'oxydation.In addition, copper carries a risk of oxidation.

En ce qui concerne le palladium, ses alliages sans ajout de cuivre sont trop mous compte tenu de la proportion substantielle qu'il faut introduire pour blanchir l'or.In the case of palladium, its alloys without the addition of copper are too soft considering the substantial proportion that must be introduced to bleach the gold.

Par ailleurs, lors du choix d'un alliage, d'autres paramètres importants sont la couleur et l'éclat du métal. La plupart des alliages contenant du Pd et/ou du Cu requièrent un dépôt galvanique de rhodium afin de se rapprocher de la couleur visée. L'épaisseur de ce revêtement (quelques microns) reste sensible au frottement et la couleur du substrat réapparaît ponctuellement, ce qui ne permet pas de réaliser des objets en or destinés à durer.In addition, when choosing an alloy, other important parameters are the color and brightness of the metal. Most alloys containing Pd and / or Cu require galvanic deposition of rhodium to approximate the target color. The thickness of this coating (a few microns) remains sensitive to friction and the color of the substrate reappears punctually, which does not allow to make gold objects to last.

Afin de ne pas nécessiter de rhodiage, un alliage d'or doit garantir, d'après la norme ASTM Method D1925, une valeur YI : D1925 < 19 (YI : « yellowness index »), considérée comme « good white » ou « premium » et intégrée à la catégorie Grade 1 (voir également http://www.utilisegold.com/jewellery technology/colours/whit e guide et Proceedings of Santa Fe Symposium 2005, pp. 103-120 ).In order not to require rhodium-plating, a gold alloy must, according to ASTM Method D1925, guarantee a value YI: D1925 <19 (YI: "yellowness index"), considered as "good white" or "premium" And integrated into the Grade 1 category (see also http://www.utilisegold.com/jewellery technology / colors / whit e guide and Proceedings of Santa Fe Symposium 2005, pp. 103-120 ).

La valeur YI peut être transposée dans le système CIELab, CIE étant le sigle de la Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage et Lab les trois axes de coordonnées, l'axe L mesurant la composante blanc-noir (noir = 0 et blanc = 100), l'axe a mesurant la composante rouge-vert (rouge = valeurs positives, vert = valeurs négatives) et l'axe b mesurant la composante jaune-bleu (jaune = valeurs positives, bleu = valeurs négatives). (Cf. norme ISO 7724 établie par la Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage).The value YI can be transposed into the CIELab system, CIE being the acronym of the International Commission on Illumination and Lab the three coordinate axes, the L axis measuring the white-black component (black = 0 and white = 100) , the axis measuring the red-green component (red = positive values, green = negative values) and the b axis measuring the yellow-blue component (yellow = positive values, blue = negative values). (See ISO 7724 standard issued by the International Commission on Illumination).

Les couleurs des alliages d'or sont définies dans l'espace tri-chromatique selon la norme ISO 8654. Une valeur YI < 19 correspond en première approximation à [-2 ≤ a ≤ 2 ; b ≤ 10].The colors of the gold alloys are defined in the tri-chromatic space according to the ISO 8654. A YI <19 value corresponds in first approximation to [-2 ≤ a ≤ 2; b ≤ 10].

On constate que les alliages selon l'invention quaternaires n° 33 à 35 et 38 et quinternaires n° 36 et 37 ont tous des valeurs L, a, b et HV recuit satisfaisantes.It is found that Quaternary alloys Nos. 33 to 35 and 38 and Quinternaries Nos. 36 and 37 all have satisfactory L, a, b and HV annealing values.

Dans le tableau IV suivant sont reportés les effets des affineurs de grains couramment employés dans les or gris 18 carats, sur un alliage selon l'invention composé de 75,3 Au, 21,7 Pd et 3,0 Zr (en % en poids).In the following Table IV are reported the effects of grain refiners commonly employed in 18-carat white gold, on an alloy according to the invention composed of 75.3 Au, 21.7 Pd and 3.0 Zr (in% by weight ).

On constate que les valeurs L, a et b d'un tel alliage ne sont pas affectées par l'ajout de l'affineur de grains.It can be seen that the values L, a and b of such an alloy are not affected by the addition of the grain refiner.

De plus, tous les alliages du tableau IV présentent une dureté satisfaisante après recuit.In addition, all the alloys of Table IV have a satisfactory hardness after annealing.

Par ailleurs, les alliages 39 et 40 montrent une structure de grains en colonnes orientées dans le sens de la solidification. Les autres alliages exhibent une microstructure équiaxe. Le ruthénium a l'effet d'affineur de grain le plus prononcé, cependant, on relève de nombreuses inclusions pouvant pénaliser le polissage. Le rhénium montre une capacité d'affinement du grain sans formation d'inclusions. L'ajout de rhénium à hauteur de 20 à 60 ppm confère par conséquent une excellente aptitude au polissage.Moreover, the alloys 39 and 40 show a grain structure in columns oriented in the direction of solidification. The other alloys exhibit an equiaxed microstructure. Ruthenium has the most pronounced grain refining effect, however, there are many inclusions that can penalize polishing. Rhenium shows a capacity of refinement of the grain without formation of inclusions. The addition of rhenium at 20 to 60 ppm therefore gives excellent polishing ability.
