<p>Provided are a metal component having a unique flat pattern which is different from patterns obtained by printing, stamping, etc., and a method for forming the metal component. An intermediate member (10a) for making an ornamental button (10), which is an example of the metal component, is obtained. On one face (12a) of the intermediate member (10a), a projection (18a) which is to become the final pattern (18) is formed, raised from the one face (12a). After plating the whole of the outer side face of the intermediate member (10a), the plating on the projection (18a) is removed. Then, by flattening the projection (18a) so as to be flush with the one face (12a) to create the pattern (18), the ornamental button (10) having the pattern (18) on one face (12) is formed.</p> |
