Definitions

  • This invention relates to metallic sheets having a textured design and, to a method of producing said design on the sheets by means of a novel rolling process.
  • Sheet metal particularly stainless steel
  • the flat surface of these panels is quite unappealing to the eye and in the case of stainless steel, the reflective nature of the surface is often undesirable.
  • one of the objects of this invention is to provide a novel method for imparting a pleasing and unique texture on metallic sheets.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for decorating metallic sheets with a non-repeating design by passing between a pair of plain-surfaced rolls a pair of metallic sheets having a texturing agent therebetween.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a method for texturing metallic sheets by using recoverable designproducing agents which form a random pattern consisting of adjacent shiny and dull surfaced areas.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a metallic sheet having an intaglio textured surface.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view showing the steps of carrying out the subject invention with portions of the upper sheet broken away to illustrate the condition of the metallic sheets and texturing agents before and after passing between the pressure rolls.
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a textured metallic sheet produced according to the invention.
  • the textured finish is produced on the metallic sheets by forming a composite pack consisting of two thicknesses of metal with a filler or texturing agent comprising metallic or non-metallic powder sandwiched therebetween. After the powder is placed between the sheets, droplets of a liquid (prefer-ably oil or Water) are sprinkled at random on the powder layer before placing on the top thickness of metal. The composite pack is then passed between a pair of pressure rolls which causes the Wetted portions of the powdered layer to flow in a random pattern and to leave juxtaposed raised flat surfaces on both top and bottom pieces of the sheets. The powdered areas which are not wetted by the liquid are relatively immobile and the rolls cause substantial reduction in the thickness of the sheets by forming depressions in the metallic sheets.
  • a liquid prefer-ably oil or Water
  • the inherent abrasive action of the dry powder not only cuts out areas in the sheets but also leaves these same areas with a dull finish. After the composite pack has passed through the pressure rolls the sheets are separated, the powder is brushed from the textured surface, and thereafter may be recovered for subsequent reuse.
  • the composite pack generally designated 1 comprises upper and lower metallic sheets S and S, respectively.
  • FIGURE 2 clearly shows a textured sheet produced according to the subject method wherein the raised shiny portions 2 will be seen to comprise a fern-like pattern extending longitudinally of the sheet S to produce an intaglio design.
  • These portions 2 of the sheet have not been dulled or substantially reduced in thickness by the powder P due to the fact that the liquid which was sprinkled over the powder caused a lubricity at these points between the sheets and enabled the powder tobe oarried away by the roll pressure and prevented the powder from being ground into the surfaces of the sheet as the composite pack 1 was passed between the rolls.
  • any number of metallic and nonmetarllic powders may be utilized to produce the texturing design. Sever-a1 metallic, silica, alumina, and organic resinous powders have been used with success.
  • the powder must not be too soft or have too high a degree of lubricity.
  • the powder must have a hardness rating of 3 or higher on Mohs scale, otherwise the powder would be too soft to absorb the roll pressure to satisfactorily cut out the depressed areas 3-.
  • the mesh size of the powder can vary between -l4 to 400 mesh.
  • the amount of roll pressure used in the process of this invention has been found to effect the quality of the textured sheet. For example, when the roll pressure is too high the powder tends to abrade the surface of the raised design thus dimming its lustre and lessening the arc-9,331
  • the method of texturing metallic sheets capable of elongation by roll pressure which comprises, applying a layer of metallic powder on top of a first metallic sheet, sprinkling drop-s of liquid at random on said powder, said liquid being inactive with said sheet and providing lubricity between said powder and sheet to act as a carrier to randomly distribute said powder, placing a second metallic sheet over said first sheet to form a composite pack,
