Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a surface ion plating protective film of a gold product (or a gold-plated layer of a gold-plated product), in particular to a nano multi-layer composite anti-scratch film on the surface of the gold product. The present invention also relates to a preparation method of the film. Background Art

[0002] Various gold and rose gold jewelry have always been loved by people, but gold or gold-plated jewelry is relatively soft. When it is worn, it is easy to have bumps and scratches on the surface due to collision and friction, which affects its dazzling and beautiful beauty. For a long time, people have been trying to improve the scratch resistance of gold. There are two ways: one is alloying, adding various alloy elements to Au, including precious metals and light and heavy rare earths, but the effect is not ideal, either the hardness is not improved much, or the original color tone is changed; the second is to coat the surface with a transparent protective film, mostly dielectric films, including SiO2, Al2O3, etc. Some people try to use a single layer of transparent dielectric layer, but if the film is too thin, it is not wear-resistant, and if the film is too thick, interference colors will be produced. Some people use radio frequency sputtering to plate SiO2, and find that the deposition speed is too slow to keep up with the normal production rhythm of ion plating. These problems have not been solved for a long time. The base of pure gold jewelry is too soft, lacks strong support for the top transparent dielectric layer, and is more easily scratched. After the imitation gold (TiN) or imitation rose gold (TiCN) layer is ion plated on the surface of the stainless steel substrate, the products plated with real gold or real rose gold, such as watches, eyeglass frames, mobile phone shells, etc., although the stainless steel substrate is slightly harder, the single soft and thin gold layer on the supported surface also has the problem of not being resistant to scratches. Therefore, the problem of not being resistant to scratches on gold products or gold-plated layers on stainless steel and brass needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0003] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a nano multi-layer composite anti-scratch film on the surface of a gold product or on the gold-plated layer (water electroplating or ion plating) on ​​the surface of stainless steel or brass.

[0004] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a nano multi-layer composite anti-scratch film on the surface of a gold product.

[0005] The nano multi-layer composite anti-scratch film on the surface of gold products prepared by the method of the present invention well solves the problem of the inability to resist scratches of the gold-plated layer on gold ornaments or stainless steel, brass and the like.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned first technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A nano multi-layer composite anti-scratch film on the surface of a gold product, characterized in that: on the surface of the gold-plated layer of the gold product or gold-plated product, a gold transition layer, a nano multi-layer structure composed of at least one group of nano multi-layer composite protective film units, a Si transition layer, and an AF anti-fingerprint film as the outermost layer are sequentially covered from the inside to the outside, and each group of nano multi-layer composite protective film units is composed of a nano transparent medium layer and a nano gold layer covering it.

[0008] On the basis of the above, the present invention can also have various preferred forms:

[0009] The thickness of the nano transparent medium layer of the nano multi-layer composite protective film is 20-300nm, and the thickness of the nano gold layer is 50-500nm.

[0010] The nano transparent medium layer is an oxide film or a nitride film. The oxides include aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, niobium oxide, silicon oxide, zinc oxide and yttrium oxide. The nitrides include titanium nitride and zirconium nitride in addition to silicon nitride.

[0011] The material of the nano-gold layer is the same as the gold component of the substrate, including pure gold, various K golds, various rose golds and various gold alloys, and also platinum and platinum alloys.

[0012] The Si transition layer has a thickness of 5-20 nm, and the AF anti-fingerprint layer has a thickness of 20-30 nm.

[0013] The present invention can also be applied to the gold-plated layer on the surface of stainless steel or brass by water electroplating or ion plating. In this case, the material of the nano-gold layer is the same as the composition of the gold-plated layer on the gold-plated product.

[0014] The present invention can also be applied to the imitation gold (TiN) or imitation rose gold (TiCN or TiAlN) coating on the surface of stainless steel or brass by ion plating. In this case, the nano multi-layer composite anti-scratch film directly replaces the traditional gold plating layer and rose gold layer. The composition of the nano gold film or rose gold film in this case is specified separately.

[0015] The present invention can also be applied to silver ornaments: a silver transition layer is first plated at the connection with the substrate, the nano transparent medium layer is selected as described above, and the color layer can be made of silver or silver alloy with the same composition as the substrate. If gold or gold alloy is selected, it becomes a gold ornament with a silver substrate.

[0016] To solve the above second technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0017] The following is an example of a multilayer composite anti-scratch film with nano-Al2O3 / nano-gold as a unit to illustrate the preparation method. The nano-Al2O3 represents that the nano-transparent medium layer mentioned above is an oxide film or a nitride film, and the oxide includes aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, niobium oxide, silicon oxide, zinc oxide and yttrium oxide, etc., and the nitride includes titanium nitride and zirconium nitride, etc. in addition to silicon nitride. The nano-gold represents the above-mentioned pure gold, various K gold, various rose gold and various gold alloys, platinum and platinum alloys, silver and silver alloys, etc.
