Abstract:
Methods for coloring metals, particularly refractory metals, via anodization is provided that utilizes UV-curable ink, which allows for color layer patterns with much higher spatial resolution that one can achieve with photoresist-based masks. The methods of the present invention can be used to create very detailed, high resolution multicolored line art images on refractory metals.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of creating at least two color layers on a refractory metal substrate (\u201csubstrate\u201d), comprising:\n (a) applying a UV-cured ink layer to the substrate in a predetermined pattern corresponding to a desired pattern for a desired color layer, wherein the desired color layer requires a corresponding anodization voltage; (b) anodizing the substrate using the corresponding anodization voltage to create the desired color layer on the substrate; (c) removing the UV-cured ink layer; (d) applying a subsequent UV-cured ink layer to the substrate in a predetermined pattern corresponding to a desired pattern for a subsequent desired color layer, wherein the subsequent desired color layer requires a subsequent corresponding anodization voltage that is lower than the anodization voltage used for the previous color layer and wherein the subsequent UV-cured ink layer is also applied so as to cover the previously created color layer; (e) anodizing the substrate using the subsequent corresponding anodization voltage; (f) removing the second UV-cured ink layer.
