(Preparation of Test Material) According to Examples 1 to 8, the obtained wire on which various plating films are formed is cut into predetermined dimensions and pressed to form a fastener element 3, which is a fastener tape. 1 was fixed by caulking to obtain a slide fastener chain. The evaluation described below was performed based on the slide fastener chain. In the case of a circular round wire, the round wire on which various plating films were formed was formed into a deformed wire having a Y-shaped cross section by multi-stage rolling, and a slide fastener chain was formed in the same manner as the deformed wire.

(Evaluation of Test Material) The slide fastener chains obtained in Examples 1 to 8 were subjected to a corrosion resistance test and a decorative test. The corrosion resistance test was 80
The sample was exposed to a 90 ° C., 90% RH atmosphere for 2 hours to conduct a constant temperature / humidity test. Thereafter, the color change on the surface of the element 3 was visually observed. In the evaluation, those that changed visually before and after the test were marked with x, and those that did not change were marked with ○.

In the decorativeness test, the slider 6 was attached to the obtained pair of slide fastener chains, a reciprocating open / close durability test was performed 3,000 times, and it was visually determined whether or not the base material was exposed from the plated film. . In the evaluation, after the test, those where the base material was exposed visually were marked with a cross, and those not exposed were marked with a circle. Table 1 shows the results. From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the slide fastener and its chain manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention are excellent in corrosion resistance and decorativeness.

[0027]

[Table 1]

Further, the slide fastener chain was sewn on clothing, and various washing tests were carried out. As a result, both corrosion resistance and decorativeness were good. Further, for the slide fastener chain, the chain side pulling, bending side pulling and pushing up, element 3 slipping and pulling out, sliding resistance,
J such as slider 6 lock, reciprocating open / close durability (M class)
Good results were also obtained in characteristic evaluations including those defined by IS S 3015.

Further, the relationship between the above Examples 1 to 8 and the plating film thickness was examined. In the case where the film thickness is less than 0.005 μm, the thinner the film thickness, the smaller the rolling,
At the time of pressing and crimping, peeling due to abrasion was apt to occur, and when the slider 6 was mounted and the slider 6 was slid, peeling due to abrasion was liable to occur, and corrosion was liable to occur in a corrosive environment. In the case where the thickness exceeds 5 μm, the larger the thickness is, the more easily cracks are generated due to processing during rolling, pressing and crimping.

(Evaluation of each embodiment) A slide fastener chain was manufactured using the wire rod of the first embodiment.
In the same manner as above, a rectangular wire, a deformed wire having a substantially X-shaped cross section, and a long plate are formed, and upper and lower stoppers 4, 5 and a slider 6 are formed, and these are caulked and fixed to the slide fastener chain. And a slide fastener. The slide fastener obtained in this way has a cut surface of a bronze color, but the surface portions of all the constituent members are gold by gold plating, and the parts exposed from the appearance have a gold color, and the decorativeness is improved. It was excellent.

In the same manner as described above, slide fasteners according to Examples 2 and 3 were used. The slide fastener obtained in this way has a cut surface of copper or brass, but the surface of all the constituent members is black nickel by black nickel plating, and the flat surface exposed from the appearance is black. It shows nickel color, and the bronze and brass colors of the cut surface appear depending on the viewing angle, and by these contrasts,
The decoration was excellent.

In the same manner as above, slide fasteners according to Examples 4 and 6 were prepared. The slide fastener obtained in this way has a base material of brass and western white, but the surface of all the constituent members is the same white as tin-plated western white, and when the slide fastener is used, the body is Is protected by a plating film, so that a nickel-white anti-nickel slide fastener can be obtained. Note that the base material is more preferably the brass or the copper in consideration of peeling, cracking, and abrasion of the plating film. Further, in these cases, there is no so large difference in the color tone between the plating film and the plating film. Therefore, if there is some peeling, cracking, or abrasion, no particular problem occurs in the color tone.

As in the above, a slide fastener according to the fifth embodiment was prepared. The slide fastener obtained in this manner has a cut surface in white, but the surface portions of all the constituent members are gold by gold plating, and the flat portion exposed from the appearance is gold, depending on the viewing angle. The cut surface showed a white color, and as in Examples 2 and 3, these contrasts resulted in excellent decorativeness.

In the same manner as described above, slide fasteners according to Examples 7 and 8 were used. The base material of the thus obtained slide fastener is made of an aluminum alloy, which makes it possible to reduce the weight of the slide fastener. In addition, since the nickel plating film was formed on the exposed surface portion, the appearance was luxurious and the wear resistance was excellent.

[0035]

According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, by limiting the thickness of the plating film, a constituent member can be manufactured after the plating process, and can be mounted on an adherend. Even if plastic working is performed, it is possible to provide an adherend with a component that does not affect the plating film due to the working. In addition, since the component members can change the color tone of the exposed part and attach the component members after plating to the adherend, it is also possible to select and attach component members having different color tones. Further, since the plated components are attached to the adherend, the adherend is not affected by the plating process, and a product that fully utilizes the material characteristics of the adherend can be provided.
