In addition to functional updates and expansions, these portable electronic devices continue to evolve in appearance and style with the popularity and user hobbies. There are two main types of portable electronic device casings. One of the metal casings has a single color. Even if a protective layer or a decorative coating such as a baking layer or a plating layer is formed on the surface thereof, it is often caused by improper collision. The phenomenon of peeling off makes the appearance no longer beautiful and bright; the other type is plastic shell, although the color is more, of course, due to the insufficient hardness of the material, it is easy to cause scratches on the surface of the shell strip during use. Original beauty. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an electronic housing having a good strength and resistance to injury. In addition, it is also necessary to provide a method of fabricating the above electronic device housing. An electronic device housing comprising a metal substrate, the electronic device housing further comprising a ceramic coating, the metal substrate having a thickness of 0. 4~〇. 6mm, the ceramic coating is directly formed on the metal substrate by thermal spraying On the surface of 099109017, the form number A0101, page 3 / page 15 0992016096-0 201134343, the surface of the metal substrate and the ceramic coating contact portion is a roughened surface. [0007] A method of fabricating an electronic device housing, comprising the following steps: [0008] providing a metal substrate having a thickness of 0. 4~0. 6mm; [0009] roughening the predetermined surface of the metal substrate [0010] placing the metal substrate on a spray fixture having internal circulating cooling water, thermally spraying a ceramic coating on the predetermined surface thereof; [0011] polishing and polishing the ceramic coating The surface roughness is 0. 3 /zm 〇 [0012] The outer casing is coated with a ceramic coating on the surface of the metal substrate, and the ceramic coating is firmly bonded to the metal substrate. By virtue of the excellent wear resistance, high hardness and high surface compactness of the ceramic coating to overcome the defects of the traditional plastic or metal material, the outer casing has high wear resistance, scratch resistance and long-lasting appearance. . The manufacturing method of the electronic device casing can prevent the metal substrate from being thermally deformed during thermal spraying by placing the metal substrate on a spray fixture which can be circulated and cooled. [Embodiment] Referring to Figure 1, an electronic device housing 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a metal substrate 12 and a ceramic coating 14. 5mm。 The embodiment of the present invention is 0. 5mm. The embodiment of the present invention is 0. 5mm. The metal substrate 12 includes a first surface 122 and a second surface 124 opposite the first surface 122. The first surface 122 is a thick chain surface having a roughness Ra of about 1.3 to 2.0; zm 099109017 Form No. A0101 Page 4 of 15 0992016096-0 201134343. The ceramic coating 14 is formed directly on the first surface 122 that covers the entire first surface 122. The thickness of the ceramic coating material is made up of a thickness of about 0. 12~ 0〜3米。 0. 14mm, surface roughness of 0. 1~0. 3/zm. Since the ceramic material itself has a color, the ceramic material can be selected according to the color requirement. For example, the ceramic coating made of aluminum oxide is white, and the ceramic coating made of triiron tetroxide is black, and is oxidized. The ceramic coating made of titanium is dark blue. [0015] The manufacturing method of the electronic device casing 10 described above is: [0016] First, a metal substrate 12 is provided. The singularity of the first surface of the first surface 122 is 1. 3~2. 0 // m. In this embodiment, the first surface 122 is roughened by sandblasting. The material used for sandblasting may be selected from one of silicon carbide, ferrochrome alloy sand, copper ore, quartz sand and ceramic sand. The particle size is 60 mesh in this embodiment. White Corundum Sand "A Kind of Emery" ° [0018] A ceramic coating 14 is sprayed onto the first surface 122 by a thermal spraying method, preferably within 4 hours after the roughening process is completed. The thermal spraying method can employ a flame spraying method using oxy-acetylene as a gas and air as a feed gas. The spray material may be selected from one of oxidized ceramic materials such as aluminum oxide, triiron tetroxide, and titanium oxide. Since the metal substrate 12 is thin, it is susceptible to thermal deformation during thermal spraying, and in order to prevent deformation, the metal substrate 12 is placed on a spray fixture during the spraying process, and the spray fixture can pass through the circulating cooling water. Thereby, the metal substrate can be cooled to prevent overheating deformation.

Through the above heat step, the metal substrate 12 is fixed on a jig, and the ceramic coating 14 of the metal substrate 12 is polished by using a cycle-shaped pyramid type diamond abrasive belt, and the sanding belt is preferably sprayed with water. Cooling to avoid overheating during the grinding process deforms the metal substrate 12. The pyramid type diamond abrasive belt can be a pyramid type diamond belt produced by 3Μ Company with a particle size model of Α45 (ie, an average particle size of 45/zm, corresponding to the f| European standard size model P400). 5〜1. 4 # m。 The roughness of the ceramic coating 14 is about 1. 0~1. 4 # m. [0020] After that, fine sanding is performed to remove the traces of the sand belt left during the coarse sanding. This step is similar to the operation of the sanding and roughing step, except that the belt used is an alumina belt, for example, an alumina belt having a particle size of 800 to 1 000 can be used. 5〜0. 8/zm。 After the squeezing of the enamel coating is about 0. 5~0. 8/zm.

The surface area of the surface 222 is preset to be subjected to a rice etching process, so that the surface of the touched product region is lower than the surface of the unetched region to form the concave portion 225, and the non-etched region is formed with the convex portion 22. The etching process may be chemical etching or laser irradiation. In the present embodiment, a chemical etching method is used, specifically: first, the metal substrate 22 is masked with ink, so that the surface that does not need to be etched is shielded, and the area of the first surface 222 that needs to be etched is exposed. The metal substrate 22 is immersed in a chemical etching solution for etching treatment so that the first surface 222 is etched (i.e., the recess 225) and is lower than the unetched region (i.e., the convex portion 226). The recess 225 is sandblasted. Since the surface roughness of the concave portion 225 after the above chemical etching is still relatively small, the blasting treatment is required to make the 099109017 form AA01 (U page 7/15 pages 0992016096-0 201134343 recess 225 larger) Surface roughness. After the blasting treatment, the roughness (Ra) of the concave portion 225 is 1.3 to 2.0 / zm. [0028] A ceramic is sprayed on the first surface 222 in a manner similar to the method of forming the ceramic coating 14 in the first embodiment. The coating 24 covers the entire first surface 222, that is, covers the concave portion 225 and the convex portion 226. [0029] After that, according to the manufacturing method of the electronic device casing 10, the sand rough polishing step and the sand fine grinding step are sequentially performed. The vibration grinding is different from the first embodiment in that the sanding rough polishing step removes the surface of the ceramic coating 24 from the rougher f'%, and exposes the convex portion 226 to the surface of the electronic device casing 20. It is composed of two different materials of metal and ceramic, thereby forming a trademark, a letter or a decorative pattern on the surface of the electronic device casing 20. [0030] In order to increase the brightness of the ceramic coating 24 and the exposed metal substrate 22, The barrel grinding is performed in one step. The abrasive is used as the walnut shell powder, and the processing time is about 4 hours. [0031] In addition, in order to highlight the brightness of the ceramic coating 24, sandblasting may be performed, and the exposed metal substrate 22 is blasted. It is matte, so as to set off the brightness of the ceramic coating 24. The sand used can be selected from the ceramic sandpaper of 20 mesh [0032] The electronic device casing of the above embodiment is directly coated on the surface of the metal substrate. Ceramic coating, which is firmly bonded to the metal substrate. The ceramic coating has excellent wear resistance, high hardness and high surface compactness to overcome the defects of traditional plastic or metal materials, so that the outer casing has high wear resistance.
