る傾向が顕著であり問題とされていた。 For exterior parts such as watches and jewelry, color tone as a decorative element and corrosion resistance as a functional element are required at the same time.Gold has been particularly useful for this purpose since ancient times, and the gold material has been processed as it is, and other metals have been used. It is used by forming a covering layer in the form of gold plating on top. If corrosion resistance is not required, the purpose can be achieved with a coating layer of 1 micron or less in the sense of showing a golden color, but on the watch side, band, and accessories, it is highly corrosion resistant to sweat and water vapor, and wear resistant to withstand long-term use. Since quality and color are required at the same time, a film thickness of 10 microns or more is required. Since gold is a very expensive metal, there are restrictions on its use in exterior parts that have sufficient corrosion and abrasion resistance, and there is a desire to develop a gold-colored coating layer that is cheaper and has sufficient functionality. Ta. Recently, so-called physical vapor deposition such as ion plating and sputtering
(hereinafter abbreviated as PVD) and Chemical Vapor
TiN by deposition (hereinafter abbreviated as CVD)
Gold-colored coatings such as TaN began to be formed, making it possible to realize inexpensive and highly functional coating layers. However, although these coatings look gold at first glance, their color tone is clearly different from that of gold itself, and they do not exhibit the beautiful color tone characteristic of gold, so their application in decorative items has been limited. There is a strong tendency for gold and gold alloy tones to be preferred, especially for watch cases and bands.
Despite the excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance of coatings made of TiN, TaN, etc., there are limits to their application in this field. In particular, for watch cases and bands, the surfaces of the parts targeted for design are often finished with a combination of mirror and rough surfaces.In this case, even if the same coating is formed on the mirror and rough surfaces, the color tones will be different on the rough surfaces. There is a noticeable tendency for the color tone of the upper layer to deviate from the color tone of gold or gold alloy, which has been considered a problem.
本発明はこれらの欠点を除去し耐食性にすぐれ
金及び金合金と同様の色調を広範囲にわたつて実
現できる外装部品を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks and provide an exterior component that has excellent corrosion resistance and can achieve a color tone similar to that of gold and gold alloy over a wide range.

させることを特徴とするものである。 The present invention provides coated parts in which a titanium nitride film is formed on a metal or heat-resistant substrate, in which nitride is not formed at least near the surface layer of the titanium nitride film for the purpose of improving the color tone, and the titanium nitride film is not combined with the titanium nitride film. It is characterized by the presence of metals such as copper, silver, palladium, and platinum.

できることがわかつた。Example 1 After processing stainless steel as a wristwatch case, it was cleaned with an organic solvent and placed in an ion plating device. 2x ion plating equipment
After exhausting to 10 -5 Torr, argon gas was introduced to 5 × 10 -3 Torr, and a DC 1KV voltage was applied to the placed watch case to bombard it. After exhausting, nitrogen gas was introduced to 5 × 10 -3 Torr. Ti is evaporated by electron beam heating under pressure and reacts with nitrogen gas in the plasma generated by thermionic electrons emitted from the filament of the ion plating device to form a yellow titanium nitride film on the watch case. . Ten minutes after the start of titanium nitride film formation, the copper that had been placed in advance in the ion plating device was evaporated in a boat using a resistance heating method, and the copper was incorporated during the formation of the titanium nitride film and reactive ion plating was performed for 10 minutes. Perform teing. At this time, the amount of evaporated copper was maintained constant by adjusting the power to the resistance heating boat. The watch case thus obtained exhibited a beautiful gold color with a pale reddish tinge, as opposed to the greenish color of the conventional titanium nitride coating. Detailed results regarding color tone are shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the reflectance versus wavelength of a conventional titanium nitride film, pure gold, and a copper-containing titanium nitride film according to the present invention, in which the samples each had a mirror surface. Curve 1 is the color tone of titanium nitride and curve 2
Curve 3 shows the color tone of pure gold, and curve 3 shows the color tone when titanium nitride contains 20% copper. It is clear from the measurement results that it exhibits a reddish color tone. In the case of Example 1, the base material is stainless steel, so it has good corrosion resistance, and the titanium nitride layer is hard, so it has excellent abrasion resistance, and even if some copper is mixed in, it has almost no effect and is excellent. We were able to provide a unique and inexpensive gold watch case. Also, by changing the content of copper, it is possible to create a subtle gold color.
It was found that it can be used up to about 50% without affecting corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance.

びた色調がえられた。Example 2 After processing brass as a watch case, electrochemical plating was applied to nickel plating and chrome plating, followed by reactive ion plating to form titanium nitride in the same manner as in Example 1, and silver on the surface layer of the coating. mixed in. Brass has poor corrosion resistance and is difficult to use as is for exterior parts, but its corrosion resistance can be improved by applying nickel plating or chrome plating, and it can also be coated with hard, golden titanium nitride. We can provide watch cases with excellent characteristics. Brass is easier to process than stainless steel, so it is used for designs that require complex processing. Furthermore, since silver was mixed near the surface layer of titanium nitride, a reflectance of curve 4 in FIG. 1 was obtained, and a whiteish color tone was obtained.

が可能である。 Further, in the above embodiment, copper and silver were contained in the surface titanium nitride layer, but for exterior parts with strong decorative elements such as wristwatches, a subtle change in color tone is required.
In addition, consumer tastes differ worldwide due to historical and cultural differences, and it is necessary to provide a variety of color tones.
By containing metals such as palladium and platinum in addition to copper and silver, it is possible to meet requests for various color tones.

い。 In addition, since the color tone is determined by the absorption and reflection characteristics of the layer 1 μm or less from the outermost surface, it is sufficient that the metal to be included is distributed only in the vicinity of the surface layer, but in order to make the manufacturing method uniform, etc. Additionally, these metals may be distributed throughout the entire layer of titanium nitride.

点をカバーでき広用範囲は極めて広い。 As described above, according to the present invention, at least one metal selected from copper, silver, palladium, and platinum is contained near the surface layer of titanium nitride,
By changing the type of metal mixed in, the mixing ratio, etc., a wide range of golden tones can be obtained.
It has become possible to respond to the diverse designs of decorative items such as wristwatches. In addition, the desired golden color tone can be obtained, and although the excellent functionality of titanium nitride is acknowledged, it can overcome the drawback of being monotonous in color tone, and has an extremely wide range of applications.
