Abstract

A method for the fabrication of a decorative panel having a coarse, enlarged crystalline pattern characterized by applying a large rolling force at a draft ratio in excess of the critical draft ratio to a metal sheet; annealing the metal sheet at a temperature in excess of the recrystallization temperature in order to remove deformations caused by the rolling step; applying a prescribed pattern-like strain figures thereto; annealing the metal sheet in an anti-oxidizing atmosphere at a high temperature in excess of the recrystallization temperature in order to allow coarse, enlarged crystals to form; and subsequently etching the surface of the sheet.
