Abstract

A surface treatment method for a golf club head includes a masking step, an electroplating step, and a post-treatment step. The surface treatment method can form a plurality of unprocessed raw layers, a plurality of electroplated layers with electroplated luster, and a plurality of sandblasted layers with matte metal texture on the working surface of the golf club head. The raw layers, the electroplated layers, and the sandblasted layers can be arranged into three-dimensional decorative patterns due to their different brightness and texture, which can bring a more varied appearance to increase product appeal and market competitiveness.

Description

Surface treatment method of golf club head

The present invention relates to a surface processing method, and in particular to a surface processing method for a golf club head.

The golf club head is the part of the club used to hit the ball and is also the most important part of the golf club. Therefore, in addition to affecting the actual performance of the feel and hitting parameters, many users also hope that the golf club head can have eye-catching and outstanding decorations. At present, some golf club heads will produce eye-catching bright colors through coating or electroplating, but this processing method can only make the entire club head present a single and harmonious appearance, and can only form a flat texture, which is difficult to generate sufficient attraction in the increasingly competitive market.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a surface treatment method for producing a three-dimensional decorative pattern on a golf club head.

Therefore, the surface treatment method of the golf club head of the present invention includes a masking step, an electroplating step, and a post-treatment step. In the masking step, a plurality of masking tapes are attached to a working surface of the golf club head. In the electroplating step, the working surface is electroplated to form a plurality of electroplated layers where the masking tapes are not attached, and then the masking tapes are torn off.

In the post-processing step, a plurality of masking tapes are pasted on the application surface, and then the application surface is sandblasted, thereby forming a plurality of sandblasted layers where the masking tapes are not pasted. After removing the masking tapes, the application surface is divided into the electroplated layers, the sandblasted layers, and a plurality of original layers that do not belong to the electroplated layers and the sandblasted layers. The original layers, the electroplated layers, and the sandblasted layers cooperate with each other to form at least one three-dimensional decorative pattern.

The effect of the present invention is that: through the surface treatment method, an unprocessed raw layer, an electroplated layer with an electroplated luster, and a sandblasted layer with a matte metal texture can be formed on the applied surface of the golf club head. The raw layer, the electroplated layer, and the sandblasted layer can be arranged into a three-dimensional decorative pattern due to their different brightness and texture, which can bring a more varied appearance to increase the product's attractiveness and market competitiveness.

1 and 2, an embodiment of the surface treatment method of the golf club head of the present invention includes a masking step 11, an electroplating step 12, and a post-treatment step 13. In the masking step 11, a plurality of masking tapes 31 are attached to a working surface 21 of the golf club head 2, and the working surface 21 is cleaned. Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 , and FIG. 3 , in the electroplating step 12 , the application surface 21 is electroplated, thereby forming a plurality of electroplated layers 211 where the masking tapes 31 are not attached as shown in FIG. 3 , and then the masking tapes 31 are torn off and cleaned. The electroplated layers 211 may be nickel-plated layers or chromium-plated layers.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 4 , and FIG. 5 , in the post-processing step 13 , the working surface 21 is first polished and trimmed, and then a plurality of masking tapes 32 are affixed to the working surface 21 as shown in FIG. 4 , and then the working surface 21 is sandblasted, thereby forming a plurality of sandblasted layers 212 where the masking tapes 32 are not affixed. After the masking tapes 32 are removed, the working surface 21 is divided into the electroplated layers 211, the sandblasted layers 212, and a plurality of raw layers 213 that do not belong to the electroplated layers 211 and the sandblasted layers 212. The electroplated layers 211 have an electroplated luster and are brighter, the sandblasted layers 212 have a matte metal texture and are the darkest, and the base layers 213 are not processed and retain the original texture of the metal casting, making their brightness in the middle. Through the mutual cooperation of the base layers 213, the electroplated layers 211, and the sandblasted layers 212, a plurality of three-dimensional decorative patterns 22 are formed through the changes of light and shadow.

It should be particularly noted that, during the sandblasting operation in the post-processing step 13, the area not covered by the masking tape 32 and exposed may be a small portion of the electroplated layers 211, or a portion outside the electroplated layers 211, that is, the sandblasted layers 212 may be formed on the electroplated layers 211 (only a small portion is sandblasted to form the sandblasted layers 212), or formed on the electroplated layers 211. For example, if the color of the sandblasted layers 212 is desired to be based on the electroplated layers 211, the sandblasted layers 212 are formed on the electroplated layers 211. If the color of the sandblasted layers 212 is desired to be based on the original color of the metal casting, the sandblasted layers 212 are formed in the areas outside the electroplated layers 211. In this way, the masking tapes 32 can be attached and adjusted according to the actual visual effect required.

In summary, the surface treatment method can form an unprocessed base layer 213, an electroplated layer 211 with an electroplated luster, and a sandblasted layer 212 with a matte metal texture on the application surface 21 of the golf club head 2. The base layer 213, the electroplated layer 211, and the sandblasted layer 212 can be arranged into a three-dimensional decorative pattern 22 due to their different brightness and textures, which can bring a more varied appearance to increase the product's attractiveness and market competitiveness, and thus can truly achieve the purpose of the present invention.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it cannot be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
