The invention relates to a silver-based amorphous
alloy and nanocrystalline pure silver
composite coating for repairing the surface of a silver souvenir
coin or medal and a preparation method of the
composite coating. The
composite coating comprises a silver-based amorphous
alloy coating serving as a substrate and a nanocrystalline pure
silver coating on the surface; and the silver-based amorphous
alloy coating comprises a silver component and an active
metal component, and representative active elements suitable for the silver-based amorphous
alloy coating comprise
chromium,
nickel,
silicon and the like. The preparation method comprises the following steps: cleaning the silver
coin and a magnetron
sputtering target material, preparing the composite
coating through magnetron
sputtering deposition in a
vacuum state, and post-
processing the target material and the silver
coin. By means of the silver-based amorphous alloy and nanocrystalline pure silver composite coating and the preparation method thereof, damaged silver coins with scratches, abrasion and color spots and the
height difference smaller than 2 micrometers from the original surface can be repaired, the surface of the repaired silver coins is covered with the composite coating uniform in component and compact in structure, good
binding force exists between the silver coins and the composite coating, and the appearance color is the same as that of pure silver. The problems that tiny scratches, abrasion and other flaws are generated on the surfaces of the silver coins in the production, storage and circulation processes, black spots,
white spots, yellowing and other flaws are formed on the surfaces of the silver coins due to the influence of
sulfur,
chlorine,
oxygen and other
corrosion elements in the environment, and therefore the appearance and luster of the silver coins are seriously influenced are solved.
