[0026] To make the above - mentioned and other objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following specifically gives the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and makes a detailed description in conjunction with the attached drawings; in addition, the same symbols marked in different drawings are regarded as the same, and their descriptions will be omitted.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is a preferred embodiment of a golf club head with a surface coating of the present utility model, including a club head body 1 and a surface coating 2, and the surface coating 2 is located on at least a part of the surface of the club head body 1.

[0028] The shape of the club head body 1 can be an iron club head, a wood club head or a putter head. The club head body 1 can be made of materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel or titanium alloy, so that the club head body 1 has sufficient structural strength, and, the surface of the club head body 1 can have sufficient corrosion resistance strength. When the surface coating 2 is electroplated on the surface of the club head body 1, the structure of the club head body 1 will not be corroded and damaged, which has the effect of facilitating subsequent processing.

[0029] The surface coating 2 can be located on at least a part of the surface of the club head body 1, or, the surface coating 2 can cover the entire club head body 1, so that the appearance color of the club head body 1 can be consistent, which has the effect of further beautifying the appearance of the club head body 1. The surface coating 2 can be formed on the surface of the club head body 1 by electroplating. For example, using a predetermined metal part as the anode and the club head body 1 as the cathode, applying current to carry out the electroplating reaction, thereby electroplating the metal of the predetermined metal part onto the club head to form the surface coating 2.

[0030] Specifically, the surface coating 2 has a base layer 21, and the base layer 21 is combined with the surface of the club head body 1. The base layer 21 can be a metal coating containing nickel (Ni) or copper (Cu). In this embodiment, the thickness of the base layer 21 can be 2 - 10 μm, thereby enabling the base layer 21 to be tightly combined with the club head body 1. In addition, the base layer 21 can fill the cavities or fine lines on the surface of the club head body 1, so that the club head body 1 can form a smooth surface effect.

[0031] The surface coating 2 has a first intermediate coating 22 which is electroplated on the base layer 21. The first intermediate coating 22 and the base layer 21 are coatings of the same metal, so that the first intermediate coating 22 has good adhesion. In this embodiment, the first intermediate coating 22 can be a metal coating containing nickel or copper, and the thickness of the first intermediate coating 22 can be 2 - 10 μm.

[0032] The surface coating 2 has a second intermediate coating 23 which is electroplated on the first intermediate coating 22. The second intermediate coating 23 and the first intermediate coating 22 are coatings of the same metal, so that the second intermediate coating 23 has good adhesion. In this embodiment, the second intermediate coating 23 can be a metal coating containing nickel or copper, and the thickness of the second intermediate coating 23 can be 5 - 55 μm.

[0033] The surface coating 2 has a strengthening layer 24 which is electroplated on the second intermediate coating 23. The strengthening layer 24 is used to make the surface coating 2 have good strength, so that the surface coating has better impact resistance and is not easily cracked by impact. The strengthening layer 24 can be a metal coating containing nickel. Preferably, the strengthening layer 24 is a metal coating containing chromium (Cr), and the thickness of the strengthening layer 24 can be 1 - 15 μm.

[0034] It should be noted that when the surface coating 2 is formed at one time, it is easy to exceed the predetermined thickness due to human error, which will cause the weight of the club head body 1 to increase excessively and form defective products. Therefore, in the present utility model, by forming the base layer 21, the first intermediate coating 22, the second intermediate coating 23 and the strengthening layer 24 on the surface coating 2 in sequence, the thicknesses of the base layer 21, the first intermediate coating 22, the second intermediate coating 23 and the strengthening layer 24 can be inspected and adjusted respectively. For example, when the base layer 21 is too thick, the worker can reduce the thickness of the first intermediate coating 22, the second intermediate coating 23 or the strengthening layer 24; or, after forming the base layer 21, the first intermediate coating 22 and the second intermediate coating 23, the worker can check the total thickness of the base layer 21, the first intermediate coating 22 and the second intermediate coating 23 and then adjust the thickness of the strengthening layer 24, thereby avoiding the thickness of the surface coating exceeding the expectation and having the effect of improving the processing yield.

[0035] In summary, for the golf club head with a surface coating of the present utility model, through the sequential attachment of multiple coatings such as the base layer, the first intermediate coating, the second intermediate coating, and the strengthening layer, it can ensure that the overall surface coating has better adhesion. In addition, by dividing the surface coating into multiple coatings and forming them sequentially, the thickness of each coating can be adjusted separately to meet the total thickness of the surface coating, achieving the effect of improving the processing yield.

[0036] Although the present utility model has been disclosed by the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
