Problems solved by technology

The base material of enamel silver jewelry also uses sterling silver and anti-tarnish silver alloy accordingly, but when firing enamel, problems such as air bubbles, oxidation residue, haze, discoloration, and peeling of the enamel surface often occur, such as Figure 1~3 As shown, it has brought great trouble to the production
Moreover, after repeated firings, orange peel or cracks often appear on the surface, resulting in the scrapping of the workpiece

Abstract

The invention discloses a silver alloy for a high-temperature enamel inlaid jewelry. The silver alloy comprises 93-95 wt% of silver and a trace amount of copper, zinc, palladium, silicone and scandium. A preparation method of the silver alloy comprises the following steps: weighing corresponding amounts of metal raw materials; smelting at 990-1,010 DEG C after mixing; and after smelting, casting into ingots till the temperatures of all the ingredients are equal to obtain the silver alloy. The silver alloy is very suitable for serving as the base of transparent enamel, and excellent in tarnish resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance, enamel fired by the silver alloy is high in transparency and good in glossiness, can be firmly combined with the base, and the silver alloy is free of surface cracks and wrinkles after being repeatedly fired at high temperature, is relatively high in strength and hardness and can meet the requirement for jewelry setting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a silver alloy material, in particular to a silver alloy base material suitable for preparing high-temperature enamel. Background technique [0002] Silver has an attractive white luster and a reflectivity of 94% to visible light. It has excellent collection and ornamental value and anti-virus and sterilization properties, and is widely used in jewelry and handicrafts. Using pure silver as the base to fire enamel can obtain better color and transparency, especially the firing effect of blue glaze is very good, commonly known as fired silver blue, which is an important method for surface decoration of traditional silver ornaments. However, due to the soft texture and low strength of sterling silver, it is difficult to meet the needs of inlaying. The gemstones can only be glued together, which leads to problems such as low artistic value, poor manufacturing process, easy deformation and loss of luster when worn and used. [0003...
