Definitions
- the invention relates to a part for a timepiece movement and in particular to a non-magnetic watch component for a mechanical timepiece movement and in particular to a balance axis, an anchor rod and a non-magnetic escapement pinion.
- the manufacture of a watch component comprising at least one part having the shape of a part of revolution, such as a watch pivot axis, consists, from a hardenable steel bar, in carrying out machining operations by removing chips, such as bar turning, to define different active surfaces (bearing, shoulder, pivots, etc.) and then subjecting the machined watch component to heat treatment operations comprising at least one quenching to improve the hardness of said component and a or several incomes to improve tenacity.
- the heat treatment operations can be followed by an operation of rolling the pins of the pins, an operation consisting in polishing the pins to bring them to the required dimensions.
- the hardness as well as the roughness of the pivots are further improved. It will be noted that this rolling operation is very difficult or even impossible to carry out with most materials whose hardness is low, that is to say less than 600HV.
- the pivot axes for example the balance axles, conventionally used in mechanical watch movements are produced in grades of free-cutting steels which are generally martensitic carbon steels including lead and manganese sulphides to improve their quality. machinability.
- a steel of this type designated 20AP is typically used for these applications.
- This type of material has the advantage of being easily machinable, in particular of being suitable for bar turning and exhibits, after quenching and tempering treatments, high mechanical properties which are very advantageous for the production of watch pivot axes.
- These steels exhibit in particular high wear resistance and hardness after heat treatment.
- the hardness of the pivots of an axle made of 20AP steel can reach a hardness exceeding 700HV after heat treatment and rolling.
- this type of material has the drawback of being magnetic and of being able to disturb the operation of a watch after having been subjected to a magnetic field, and this in particular. when this material is used for the production of a balance axis cooperating with a spring balance made of ferromagnetic material. This phenomenon is well known to those skilled in the art. It will also be noted that these martensitic steels are also sensitive to corrosion.
- austenitic stainless steels which have the particularity of being non-magnetic, that is to say of the paramagnetic or diamagnetic or antiferromagnetic type.
- these austenitic steels have a crystallographic structure that does not allow them to be quenched and to achieve hardnesses and therefore wear resistance compatible with the requirements required for the production of clockwork pivot axes.
- One way to increase the hardness of these steels is work hardening, however this hardening operation does not allow hardness greater than 500HV to be obtained. Consequently, in the context of parts requiring high resistance to frictional wear and having to have pivots which present little or no risk of deformation, the use of this type of steels remains limited.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a horological component, in particular a horological pivot axis and more particularly a pivot axis of a regulating member of a watch movement making it possible both to limit sensitivity to magnetic fields and to obtain an improved hardness compatible with the requirements of resistance to wear and shocks in the watchmaking field.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a non-magnetic watch component having improved corrosion resistance.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a non-magnetic watch component which can be manufactured in a simple and economical manner.
- Such a watch component makes it possible to combine advantages such as low sensitivity to magnetic fields, as well as hardness and good corrosion resistance while retaining good general toughness. Furthermore, the use of a non-magnetic alloy as defined above is advantageous insofar as the latter has good machinability. Moreover, thanks to the selected proportion of rhenium, ruthenium, gold and / or platinum, the component is given particularly advantageous self-lubricating properties for the production of watch axes. Indeed, the sum of these elements greater than or equal to 15% by weight makes it possible to improve the resistance to oxidation, which results in better resistance to wear of the part of the component in friction against another component and this particularly dry. In particular, better resistance to wear of the pivots of the watch axis in friction against the ruby in a bearing is observed.
- the alloy of the invention consists by weight of 35% palladium, 30% silver, 14% copper, 10% gold, 10% platinum and 1% zinc .
- At least the part machined by chip removal is heat treated by a treatment of the precipitation type, that is to say a treatment allowing the controlled release of constituents to form aggregates of precipitates (hardening structural), such a treatment makes it possible to achieve hardnesses of the order of 290 HV.
- At least the part machined by chip removal undergoes a mechanical work hardening treatment followed by a heat treatment for structural hardening, such treatment makes it possible to achieve hardnesses of the order of 370 HV.
- At least the part machined by chip removal comprises a hardening layer deposited on an external surface of said part.
- the method of the invention can comprise, according to a variant, a step e) of depositing a hardening layer at least on one external surface of said part machined by removal. of chips.
- the method of the invention may comprise a step of structural hardening treatment of the machinable element by chip removal, typically an element in the form of a bar, or a structural hardening treatment of the watch component obtained from machining.
- the method of the invention can comprise a step of mechanical treatment of work hardening of the machinable element by chip removal, typically an element in the form of a bar followed by a stage of structural hardening of this element.
- non-magnetic alloy means a paramagnetic or diamagnetic or antiferromagnetic alloy, the magnetic permeability of which is less than or equal to 1.01.
- machining by chip removal designates any shaping operation by removing material intended to give a part dimensions and a surface finish situated within a given tolerance range. Such operations are for example bar turning, milling or any other technique known to those skilled in the art.
- the invention relates to a part for a timepiece movement and in particular with a non-magnetic watch component, such as a pivot pin, for a mechanical timepiece movement.
- non-magnetic balance pin 1 as shown in figure 1 .
- axes of watch mobiles typically escape gears, or even anchor rods.
- the parts of this type have, at the level of the body, diameters preferably less than 2 mm, and pivots of diameter preferably less than 0.2 mm, with an accuracy of a few microns.
- Other watchmaking components that can be envisaged are also screws, winding stems, eyebolts, etc., and may have dimensions similar to those indicated above for the axes.
- a balance axis 1 which comprises a plurality of sections 2 of different diameters, preferably formed by bar turning or any other machining technique by chip removal, and conventionally defining the bearing surfaces 2a and the shoulders 2b arranged between two end portions defining two pivots 3. These pivots are each intended to pivot in a bearing, typically in an orifice of a stone or ruby.
- the method may further comprise, after the machining step b), a step c) of surface finishing treatment such as rolling and / or polishing.
- the method may also include a step d) of heat treatment, typically of structural hardening, aimed at increasing the hardness of the alloy to a hardness of between 350 and 550 HV1.
- This heat treatment is carried out at a temperature of between 350 and 450 ° C. for a time of between 30 minutes and 3 hours, more particularly between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes.
- step d) can be carried out before step b) (directly on the machinable element by removing chips from the non-magnetic alloy of the invention, typically in the form of a bar) if the machining requires high hardness. However, it is preferably carried out after the machining of step b) and before step c).
- step d) can be preceded by a mechanical hardening treatment of the machinable element by removing chips from the non-magnetic alloy of the invention, typically in the form of a bar.
- the method may further comprise a step e) of depositing a hardening layer 5 at least on an external surface of said part 3 machined by removing chips in step b) and this before or after step c ) and after step d) if applicable.
- the hardening layer is made of a material chosen from the group comprising Ni and NiP.
- the phosphorus content can be between 0 (then pure Ni) and 15% by weight.
- the level of phosphorus is either average and between 6 and 9% by weight, or high and between 9 and 12% by weight.
- the deposition of the hardening layer can be carried out by PVD, CVD, ALD, galvanic and chemical deposition, and preferably chemical.
- the layer 5 has a thickness of between 0.5 and 10 ⁇ m, preferably between 1 and 5 ⁇ m and more preferably between 1 and 2 ⁇ m. This hardening layer makes it possible to obtain excellent impact resistance in the main stress zones.
