  Next, embodiments of the pairing manufacturing method of the present invention will be described.

  For example, platinum (Pt950), 18 gold × 3 types (white gold / yellow gold / pink gold) and the like are mainly used as a material for pairing, but any other material capable of providing a mirror surface is possible.

  Then, the plate that has been struck by forging is punched into a size and shape slightly larger than that of pairing, and processed into a product shape by pressing and cutting.

  Alternatively, the original mold is rubber-molded, the wax is injected into the rubber mold, the wax having the same shape as the original mold is taken out, molded with gypsum, removed by melting and vaporizing the wax with heat, and melted into the gypsum mold A bullion (gold, platinum, etc.) can be poured and cooled to form a product of the same shape as the original.

  Alternatively, it may be produced by a mold such as vacuum plasma sintering, but if it is an inexpensive material, it may be produced by cutting after die drawing, and the relationship between the outer diameter and inner diameter of the pairing is concentric. What is necessary is just to be able to arrange in a shape.

  Major examples of the processing method of symbol 3 include cutting and laser processing.

  The cutting process is a method of cutting and engraving into a symbol shape using a rotary tool, and it is only necessary to perform a cutting process by inputting a program having a predetermined shape by NC machining. As the management conditions, the tool material may be cemented carbide, single crystal diamond, sintered diamond, cubic boron nitride, alumina (corundum), silicon nitride, steel (gray), cermet, or the like. The cutting tool is a drill or an end mill, and is suitably set at a tool rotation speed of 100 to 40000 rpm, a feed rate of 0.1 to 1000 mm / sec, and a cutting depth of 0.01 to 100 mm.

  The laser processing is a method of irradiating a laser to melt processing into a predetermined shape, and the laser processing may be performed by inputting a program having a predetermined shape in the same manner as cutting processing. As management conditions, a laser oscillator for performing melt processing is set to a voltage (power density) of 1 mV to 100 mV, a pulse width of 0.01 sec to 1 sec, and a pulse interval of 0.001 Hz to 100 MHz. In particular, the line thickness can be easily controlled with a laser.

  In the mirror surface processing, electrolytic polishing or barrel polishing is performed, and then buffing is performed for finishing. Further, a further mirror surface can be easily realized by plating.

  As conditions for electrolytic polishing, a liquid temperature of 5 ° C. to 150 ° C., a voltage of 100 to 200 V, a current of 1 to 10 A, and a processing time of 10 seconds to 3 hours are set.

  As conditions for barrel polishing (either centrifugal / magnetic), the media material is alumina, the average diameter of the media is 0.3-1 μm, the barrel method (either wet / dry), the rotation speed is 1-10 rpm, The revolution speed is set to 1 to 10 rpm, and the processing time is set to 10 seconds to 3 hours.

  The finishing buffing conditions include natural fiber (cotton, hemp, linen, wool, silk, cashmere, asbestos, glass fiber, etc.) and chemical fiber (polyester synthetic fiber, polyamide synthetic fiber, cellulose). Semi-synthetic fiber, protein-based semi-synthetic fiber, cellulose-based regenerated fiber, glass fiber, carbon fiber, etc.), and buff rotating body rotation speed is 1000-40000 rpm, and abrasives are diamond, cubic boron nitride, silicon carbide, alumina Corundum, chromium oxide, cerium oxide, iron oxide, siliceous limestone, etc. are used.

  Next, the method of forming a symbol or a symbol string (character and character string) 3 for pairing will be described as appropriate for cutting, laser processing, and plating.

  Cutting and laser processing are as described above, but for plating, the plating solution is rhodium, ruthenium, platinum, gold, palladium, silver, copper, nickel, etc., voltage 200V, It is appropriate to set the current to 1 A and the processing time from 1 second to 3 hours. As management conditions, the plating thickness is 1 μm to several tens of μm, the plating material is rhodium plating, and the masking method is generally performed by applying a masking resin and is selectively applied by applying a novolak resin to the masking portion. It becomes easy to perform plating. Thus, the symbol 2 can be easily formed by plating using masking.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is difficult for others to visually recognize a symbol or a symbol string (character and character string), and it is easy to provide a ring having a structure that is not limited in design and difficult to break. .
