The present invention relates to a kind of ornamental aluminium alloy element and a kind of method that is used to produce this member.
In the prior art of this technical field, bar or the plate made by the fused aluminium alloy are pressed into a kind of required shape by cold forming or hot-die, by anodic oxidation this pressing are carried out surface treatment then.
In the prior art, it has been recognized that the physical strength of molten aluminum is lower.In order to increase the intensity of molten aluminum, in aluminium, add Mg (magnesium) and the interpolation element such as Cu (copper), Si (silicon) and Zn (zinc).Resulting aluminium alloy is carried out surface treatment by anodic oxidation or by low temperature anodic oxidation (hard anodic oxidation treatment), thereby makes its surface hardening.The aluminium alloy of so handling is used as a kind of decoration element, for example is used as the exterior part of wrist-watch.
