Currently, the traditional deformed semi-finished products (rods and wire) manufacturing technology for jewelry chains of precious metal alloys production, including continuous casting billet and multistep bar rolling and drawing processes, is used in almost all plants with the same processing parameters [1]. On the one hand, it makes it easier the automate such processes, but on the other hand, the transition to the deformation of new alloys having improved mechanical and operational characteristics and may lead to defect in the processing step or in step of chains binding. In this regard, a complex approach is actual for improve the technology of jewelry chains production, including the development of new alloys based on precious metals, computer simulation and physical modeling of forming its processes and computer-aided technology and tools design.
The first task of new alloys creating is solved together with Krasnoyarsk Facility of Non-Ferrous Metals named after Gulidov ("Krastsvetmet" JSC) through the development of new chemical composition of alloys and their structure and properties study [2, 3]. Based on these studies jewelry alloys of gold, palladium and silver were suggested and patented [4-10]. Features of these alloys processing behavior described in the papers [11-15].
As an example, Fig. 1 shows the microstructure of a 925 standard silver alloy [10] studied on polished cast (Fig. 1a) and deformed (Fig. 1b) samples with a microscope Axio Observer D1m (Carl Zeiss, Germany). Metallographic studies of the samples obtained by processing with 98 % deformation, showed that in structure of the new alloy signs of destruction and discontinuities were not observed.
Mechanical testing of deformed semi-finished products were carried out on the electromechanical universal testing machine «LFM-400» (Walter + Bai AG, Switzerland) and on the universal tensile testing machine «H5K-S» (Hounsfield teste equipment ltd, UK). Research showed that unlike the processing by conventional technology, the current level of this alloy properties [2] allows to eliminate the preliminary and intermediate annealing between the stages of bar rolling without the risk of cracks and breaks.
Next stage of work was the computer simulation of bar rolling and drawing processes, which was conducted with the help of the DEFORM 3D package. In the simulation cold deformation of elastoplastic medium by incompressible tool was considered at 20 °C. For bar rolling (60000 items) rolls rotation frequency in accordance with the technical specifications of the equipment used in manufacturing was 33.3 rev/min, and the rate of friction was assumed equal to 0,12. In drawing (20,000 items) gripper was moving with speed of 1 m/s, and the friction rate was equal to 0,08. The rheological characteristics of the material accepted based on the results of mechanical properties studies of new alloy 925 standard silver semi-finished products. Received models (Fig. 2) allowed to estimate the feasibility of bar rolling and drawing on the proposed routes, metal forming during processing and power parameters.

Analysis of the simulation results showed that the required shape and dimensions of the cross section of 0,25 mm wire are achieved in 16 bar rolling and 10 drawing passes. Forming of metal till the set parameters going without destroying, the values of the rolling and drawing force reduced gradually during the process.
Using the results of computer modeling in FeatureCAM system the working drawings of bar rolls created, their processing simulated and control programs code generated for roll tool manufacturing on CNC mills (Fig. 3).
The third phase in acting of research was the calculation of rolling and drawing technological modes with the help of "PROVOL" computer-aided design system [11].
Calculation was carried out for available at «Krastsvetmet» JSC equipment and in accordance with applicable in manufacturing technological scheme:
rolling of continuously cast billet with a diameter of 8 mm in three stages with intermediate annealing till receiving of bar close to the square cross-section with a side of 1 mm on continuous mills of Famor and BILER types;
drawing of rods till wire with a diameter of 0,25 mm on COMEVI bull-block wire-drawing machine.
The calculated modes took into account the increased alloys mechanical properties, their hardening during processing, as well as limitations on the power parameters caused by the characteristics of used equipment.
Fig. 4 shows the diagram of force variation during rolling process with the given unit reduction in comparison with the existing bar rolling route at the plant for obtaining of deformed semi-finished products of new 925 standard silver-based alloy.
The calculated rolling modes significantly reduce the number of passes, provide more evenly distribution of passages reduction, thereby creating favorable conditions for metal processing and minimize the potential defects of finished products. The ductility of the alloy allows to eliminate intermediate annealing operations between rolling stages, while force does not exceed permissible (50,3 kN).

Based on developed route in the "PROVOL" program rolls calibration was designed and the working drawings of all calibers the aisles were produced (Fig. 5).
Analysis of the drawing modes (Fig. 6) showed that, unlike used, there is a more evenly reduction change the passages, as well as reducing their value as metal hardening.
The calculated drawing mode is presented in Table 1, its analysis showed that the values of the safety factor changing without peaks and increasing gradually to the last pass.
To verify the adequacy of developed models experimental studies in laboratory conditions were carried out. The cast billet with a diameter of 8 mm was subjected to bar rolling by the proposed route on the AMBIFILO VELOCE ROSEN 180+200x0130 mill of Mario Di Maio company till receiving of bar close to the square cross-section with a side of 1 mm. Wire drawing to a 0,25 mm diameter was carried out on 10 NFS TRONIC bull-block wire-drawing machine.

From the obtained semi-finished products (Fig. 7) samples for mechanical testing and metallography studies were collected. Alloy ductility allowed to carry out bar rolling and wire drawing without intermediate annealing. Forming of metal on the proposed route passed without the formation of cracks in the bars and wire breaks. For bar rolling billet of 4*4 mm side size used to obtain bars with 1^1 mm dimensions.
