Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fine and beautiful decorative pattern with high durability with a simple working method in spite of intrusion of impurities by irradiating the metal surface of pure Ti with laser beam in air to form a titanium nitride firm and to develop color. CONSTITUTION:The metal surface of pure Ti is irradiated with laser beam in air incorporating nitrogen by using a laser marking device equiped with a laser oscillator. The chemical activity of Ti atoms is enhanced and allowed to react with nitrogen molecules so as to form a titanium nitride firm and to develop color. Thereby, fine and beautiful decorative patterns with high durability can be obtained by a simple working method even when a small amt. of impurities is contained.

[Prior art and technical problems to be solved] Pure titanium is excellent as a decorative material, and brooches, cufflinks, etc. made of pure titanium are on the market. This is made by processing pure titanium into brooches and cufflinks, applying appropriate masking, and then electrolyzing the surface to create a blue or other color.The color is beautiful, but if you want to create a detailed decorative pattern, you will have to do detailed masking. However, there were technical limits to the creation of precise patterns. In addition, if impurities are mixed in during the processing of pure titanium, beautiful colored patterns cannot be obtained by electrolysis, and if the processed surface is extremely uneven, masking may be difficult. This was a factor that hindered the expansion of its use.

In addition, pure titanium is lightweight and has excellent flexibility, making it an excellent base material for eyeglass frames, but it has a disadvantage in that it has a cool silvery-white color.

Therefore, eyeglass frames made of pure titanium coated with resin paint have been introduced, but they have the drawback that the resin paint easily peels off. Therefore, eyeglass frames have been developed in which a colored hard compound coating is applied to the surface of the frame using the ion plating method. According to this method,
Although a highly durable hue can be obtained, processing is troublesome.

In other words, after cleaning and cleaning the eyeglass frame, it must be placed in the ion blating device, which is a sealed container, and the ion blating must be performed using a pump to create a near-vacuum condition inside the device. It is.

Moreover, even with such a tedious process, it was difficult to obtain complex decorative patterns. Therefore, a recess is formed on the surface of the eyeglass frame,
A pattern forming method has been proposed in which paint is applied to the recesses to prevent the paint from peeling off, but this method requires two steps: forming the recesses and applying the paint, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

That is, a method is adopted in which a laser is irradiated at a predetermined position on the metal surface of pure titanium in air containing nitrogen to increase the chemical activity of titanium and cause it to react with nitrogen to form a titanium nitride film and develop color. This provides a means for coloring eyeglass frames, ornaments, etc. by forming a colored compound film, which has a simple processing method and can form delicate and beautiful decorative patterns regardless of the presence of impurities.

[Effects of the present invention] As explained above using the examples, the I of the eyeglass frame of the present invention
The keyaki forming method is highly durable because the pattern is formed by a titanium nitride film, and since the nitriding reaction can be carried out in the atmosphere, there is no need for a vacuum device, and the process can be performed without being affected by small amounts of impurities. Moreover, since the coating is formed only on the irradiated area of the laser, which can be made extremely small, elaborate decorative patterns can be easily formed. Furthermore, the processing cost was lower than processing methods using ion blating or coloring methods using electrolysis. In addition, decorative patterns can be easily formed even if the processed surface is highly uneven. This not only made it easier to form patterns on pure titanium eyeglass frames, but also opened up a new way to use pure titanium in decorative items.
