Traditionally, gold plating for watch exterior parts was first applied to the surface of materials made of nickel silver or brass.
Au-Ag alloy plating is applied as the base plating,
On top of that, Au-Ni-In alloy plating was applied as a final plating. In this gold plating structure, the Au-Ag alloy plating applied as the base plating has a metal phase of K14 to K18 and is inexpensive, and since the stress in the plating layer is low, it can be applied with a thickness of several tens of microns or more. It is possible, but in terms of color tone, the gold color is pale,
It has a yellow-gold color, and the surface color of gold plating for watch exterior parts lacks a sense of luxury. In addition, since Au-Ag alloy plating contains silver, it has poor corrosion resistance, discolors due to sweat, and can be left in the atmosphere for a period of 1 to 2 days.
It changes color within a month and spoils its aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, the hardness
Since the Hv is low at around 170-180, its wear resistance is also poor. For the above reasons, Au-Ni-In alloy plating is further applied as a finishing plating on top of the Au-Ag alloy plating. The Au-Ni-In alloy plating applied as a finishing plating has a calm and luxurious golden color, matching the color tone we require. However, this Au-Ni
-In-based alloy plating has a maximum thickness of about 3μ due to high stress in the plating layer, and if it is thicker than this, cracks will occur in the plating layer, which will reduce corrosion resistance. In addition, Au-Ni-In alloy plating has a low hardness of 220 to 230 Hv, and the plating thickness is as thin as 3μ, so each corner of the watch's exterior parts wears out after about 2 to 3 months of use. The Au-Ag alloy plating of the base plating is exposed, and an extreme difference in color tone occurs between the Au-Ag alloy plating of the base plating and the Au-Ni-In alloy plating of the finish plating. Undesirable in appearance. In addition, Au-Ag with such a base plating
Due to the exposure of the alloy plating, the
Ag causes spot corrosion and reduces corrosion resistance.
As the base plating, Au-Cu alloy plating (Au60 ~

A detailed explanation of the present invention will be given below. The exterior parts for watches of the present invention have a plating structure in which Au-Ag alloy plating is first applied as a base plating to the surface of a material made of nickel silver or brass, and then Au-Cu-Zn alloy plating is applied on top of that. alms,
Furthermore, Au-Ni-In alloy plating is applied thereon as a finishing plating. In this gold plating structure, the Au--Cu--Zn alloy plating used is composed of 10 to 25% Cu, 2 to 4% Zn, and the balance gold and unavoidable impurities. This Au−Cu−Zn
The characteristics of alloy plating are that the hardness of the plating layer itself is hard, around Hv350, and therefore it has excellent wear resistance, compared to conventional Au-Ag alloy plating and Au
-Several times more durable than Ni-In alloy plating. In addition, in terms of color tone, the luxurious color tone of the Au-Ni-In alloy plating can be obtained, so even if the Au-Ni-In alloy plating of the finishing plating wears out while carrying, there will be no difference in color tone. It rarely damages the appearance. Moreover, since the Au-Cu-Zn alloy plating is hard, this layer can prevent the plating from being worn out. Regarding the thickness, according to the results of cell phone tests, a plating layer of 2μ is sufficient, but if it is less than 0.25μ it is ineffective, and if it is less than 5μ there are problems in terms of cost. It was also found that the corrosion resistance was superior to that of the conventional base plating, Au-Ag alloy plating. The results are shown in Table-1. The Au-Cu-Zn alloy plating of the present invention is made of Cu
If the content exceeds 25%, the color becomes gold with a strong reddish tinge, further reducing corrosion resistance. Also Cu content 100
If it is less than %, the desired hardness cannot be obtained. Zn
If the content exceeds 4%, the color becomes strong yellow with no reddish tint, resulting in decreased hardness and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, when the Zn content is less than 2%, the color becomes golden with a strong reddish tinge and almost no whitishness. Au-Cu of the present invention
−Zn alloy plating has a gold phase of K18 to K21,
It is cheaper in cost than the finishing Au-Ni-In alloy plating.

In addition, in the present invention, Au-Ag is used for the base plating.
The reason why we used Au-Ag alloy plating is that the color tone of Au-Ag alloy plating can easily form a plating with good adhesion when applied to the material, and the color tone is also yellow gold. Although you cannot expect much luxury, it is the same color as the gold alloy plating applied on top of the Au-Ag alloy plating, so it will not spoil the golden tone of the plating applied on the Au-Ag system. By being less.

Furthermore, the reason why we used Au-Ni-In alloy plating as the finishing plating is that although it has a slightly inferior hardness, it provides a luxurious golden color tone.
