Experimental researches concerning the rolling of silver (ag999,96) and of the silver alloy (agcu800)

Abstract

One of the most beautiful branches concerning the projection activity of a designer is the manufacturing of precious metals domain. From the precious metals category, the silver was chosen to be studied, because this metal is more accessible from the cost price point of view, and also because of its many ways of utilisations
(there is no other domain in which this metal is not present). The accessory industry, specially the sector that serves the fashion world (buttons, buckles, decorative shackles (chains), jewels, it is in a permanent development, the silver is becoming more and more for this domain, an “industrial†metal because of its massive utilization. The cognition from the technological behaviour of this metal, represents a necessity in the designer activity, this designing technological forms, possible ones, answering both the market needs (requirements) and the production possibilities.
For the manufacturing of the silver objects are used, specially, semi-manufactured rolling band type or wire. The semi-manufactured of the wire type can be rolled and transformed in flat bar, for a later manufacturing, according with the shape conceived by the designer. This work recommends the establishment of some parameters needed to obtain the flat band through the rolling of the silver wire.
