Decorated parts with design containing coat layer

摘要

A method for decorating a given part is designed to print designs onto a coat layer deteriorating the coat layer on the surface of the given part. In the coat layer-forming process, in spreading the metallic-coating material containing aluminum flake onto the surface of the resin compact, the coat layer is formed on the surface of it. In a laser-printing process, a laser is irradiated on the condition of being able to maintain the same state of the coat layer before and after irradiating the laser, so as to reduce the aspect ratio of the micronized-metallic powder, which is the average value of the ratio of the maximum dimension of the micronized-metallic powder to the average value of the minimum dimension of the micronized-metallic powder, which laser irradiation eventually thermally deforms the first scale-shaped micronized-metallic powder into a spherical shape in the coat layer to print designs on the film.

主权项

1. A decorated part of which a coat layer is formed on the part surface, and designs are printed on the coat layer, the coat layer comprising:
a first region mainly of the first scale-shaped micronized-metallic powder of an aspect ratio that is the average value of the ratio of the maximum dimension of the micronized-metallic powder to the average value of the minimum dimension of the micronized-metallic powder, and a second region mainly of a second spherical-shaped micronized-metallic powder that is of an aspect ratio less than that of the first value, the second region laterally adjacent to the first region and having a surface structure and color the same as a surface structure and color of the first region, wherein the coat layer designs are printed according to an alignment and shape of the first and second regions, and further wherein convex and concave parts corresponding to the designs are not formed on the surface of the coat layer.
