Filed:

Sep 24, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/950242

Inventors:

Paul McDaniel - Jonesborough TN, US
Johnny Smelcer - Midway TN, US
Randy Beets - Bull Gap TN, US

Assignee:

Jarden Zinc Products, Inc. - Greeneville TN

International Classification:

B32B 15/00

A44C 21/00

US Classification:

40 275, 428647, 428675

Abstract:

Metals having a silvery-white appearance and methods of producing the same. In one embodiment, the composite material of the present invention comprises a metallic core, a first layer, and a second layer. The first layer encases the external surfaces of the metallic core and is produced by electroplating copper or copper alloy from a first bath containing copper ions. The second layer encases the first layer and is produced by electroplating white bronze from a second bath containing copper and tin ions. According to one embodiment of the method of the present invention, the first layer is electroplated on the metallic core and the second layer is electroplated on the first layer. In another embodiment of the composite material and method of the present invention, the material comprises only the metallic core and a first layer of white bronze. The resulting composite has a silvery-white appearance and does not include exposed nickel so that persons allergic to nickel metals are not affected by the composite. The composite material may be configured by standard processing methods to finished products such as coins, tokens, and medallions.

Albert Giles - Greeneville TN, US

Assignee:

Jarden Zinc Products, Inc. - Greeneville TN

International Classification:

B32B 19/00
B32B 15/00

US Classification:

428689000, 428615000

Abstract:

Substrates having an alloy finish and methods of producing the same. The finished product according to one embodiment of the present invention is a substrate having an alloy finish comprising two or more metals, and is made by the method of the present invention. Generally, the method of the present invention comprises provision of a substrate, electroplating two or more metals onto the substrate, and then baking the plated substrate to result an alloy of the plated metals through diffusion. Substrates made according to the present invention can be covered with a variety of types of alloy finishes, and a variety of characteristics of such finishes can be achieved. The method of the present invention uses steps of electroplating and heating that are well-known in the art, and does not require the use of toxic, cyanide-based plating baths.

Abstract:

Alloys of copper and manganese and copper, manganese and zinc can be used for the production of coins, such as the U.S. five cent piece or “nickel.” With appropriate platings, these alloys can match the electromagnetic signatures or electrical conductivity of currently circulated coins. This is important as modern vending machines include sensors which measure the conductivity of coins to ensure they are genuine.
