The development and manufacture of aluminium mokumé gane (wood-grain metal) decorative alloy

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The application of contemporary metallurgical knowledge and solid state bonding techniques provide for development of entirely new Mokumé Gane combinations. A multilayered aluminium alloy is manufactured by the successive hot roll-bonding of two different aluminium alloys. The surface is then embossed with a selected pattern and machined back, exposing the various alloys. A range of suitable alloy combinations has been identified. When anodised, the surface presents the pattern as a strong contrast due to the differing anodising properties of the constituent alloy layers. The anodic coating can then be dyed with a wide range of colours to develop the decorative potential of the technique. © 2005 Materials Research Society.
