Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of a white gold alloy containing gold and silver for the production of a piece of jewelry and a solid piece of jewelry made from such a white gold alloy or a part thereof.
- a particularly white metal color of a jewelry alloy is desired, since this supports the luster of white precious stones, in particular diamonds, in a particularly good way.
- White gold jewelery alloys are often made white with additional galvanic rhodium plating, as rhodium is the precious metal with the best white color.
- the disadvantage of galvanic rhodium plating lies in its limited service life, since the rhodium layer, which is usually only a few fractions of a millimeter thick, is worn out by the use of the piece of jewelry.
- the white gold base material of the piece of jewelry becomes visible and affects its appearance, since the luster and color of white gold is worse than that of rhodium.
- a silver alloy which consists essentially of silver, copper and gold, 50% by weight of silver, 10% by weight of copper and 40% by weight of gold being disclosed by way of example.
- EP 2 818 567 A1 The applicant describes a 14-carat white gold alloy, particularly suitable for use in a stone casting process, which contains 56-60% by weight gold, 25-35% by weight silver, 5-10% by weight zinc, 0 , 2-5% by weight of palladium and 0.05-5% by weight of platinum, the total proportion of palladium and platinum being at most 5% by weight.
- copper is present in a proportion between more than 0% by weight and 2% by weight, with up to 2% by weight of the silver being replaced by the same amount of copper.
- the white gold alloy known from the aforementioned publication contains up to 1% by weight of gallium, the weight percentages of the aforementioned components - apart from the usual admixtures and impurities - adding up to 100% by weight -Alloy has a yellowness index of less than 32 and especially of less than 15 and has a hardness between 120-150 HV. It also has excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance. It is nickel-free and easy to process, so it is particularly suitable for a stone casting process due to its melting range.
- an alloy corresponding to the aforementioned 14-carat white gold alloy with a lower gold content e.g. B, an 8-carat white gold alloy, which then contains approximately 33.3 wt .-% gold, a 9-carat white gold alloy, which contains about 37.5 wt .-% gold, or a 10-carat white gold alloy, which then contains 41.67 wt .-% gold, with the advantageous properties that the 14-carat white gold described above Alloy possesses, should be preserved as far as possible.
- a soldering paste is known for use in general industrial applications as well as for the dental sector, which - apart from impurities - 37.0 to 76 wt.% gold, 11.0 to 56.5 wt.% silver, 3.0 to 30 % By weight copper and at least one of the additional metals zinc, tin, indium and gallium in a total proportion of 0.5 to 32% by weight.
- the DE 10 2009 010 149 A1 describes a mokume layer block and a piece of jewelry, an ornament or an ornament made therefrom, which has at least a first layer made of a first alloy and at least a second layer made of a second alloy.
- the first alloy contains white gold, rose gold, yellow gold, palladium or platinum
- the second alloy contains about 200 to 300 parts gold and about 800 to 700 parts silver, up to between 30 and 70 parts copper and small amounts of additional metals such as platinum, gold , Aluminum, gallium, indium, silicon, tin or zinc.
- the Mokume layer block described in this application forms, according to the information in the aforementioned publication, a very easy to process, ductile and color-contrasting starting material for attractive and individual jewelry.
- the EP 2 045 343 A1 describes a jewelry alloy for the production of nickel-free white gold objects, which has gold in a proportion between 31 and 92% and gallium in a proportion between 1.4 and 30%.
- the U.S. 5,453,290 A describes a method for a dental restoration in which a substructure is used which is produced from a dental alloy which comprises 40 to 80% by weight gold, 15-50% by weight silver, palladium, platinum in a total proportion of 0 to 20% by weight, at least one of the elements zinc, indium, Tin, gallium, germanium, aluminum, silicon and boron in a total proportion of 0 to 5% by weight, at least one of the elements tantalum, titanium and rhenium in a total proportion of 0 to 5% by weight, at least one of the elements rhodium, Iridium and ruthenium in a total proportion of 0 to 5% by weight, at least one of the elements molybdenum, niobium, tungsten, chromium, copper, cobalt, nickel and iron in a total proportion of 0 to 5% by weight and at least one element the group of rare earths in a total proportion of 0 to 3 wt .-% contains.

- the measures according to the invention thus propose an alloy suitable for use in the jewelry and watch industry, which is easier to process due to its melting range and its high strength, is particularly suitable for a jewelry casting, in particular for a stone casting, but at the same time has a white color which - as stated above - approaches that of the 14-carat alloy described above.
