Method for making multi-colored composite laminates

摘要

A method for making multi-colored composite laminates comprises stacking a plurality of colored strips in a predetermined pattern and bonding the strips into a composite laminate by continuous bonding. The composite laminate is then rolled before being passed through a deep steel pattern roll which forms a raised pattern on its surface. Next, the laminate is passed through a skiving table where the raised pattern is skived off to expose the multi-colored pattern formed by the underlying layers. The laminate is than flat rolled to a finished dimension and may be reeled up into a cylindrical roll.
