Antibacterial effect on surfaces that humans come into direct contact with or food and beverages, such as touching appliances and utensils, kitchen utensils, toys, daily necessities, miscellaneous goods, casings of home appliances,
It has been widely practiced to mix or coat a substance having a sterilizing effect to impart an antibacterial effect. As the antibacterial agent or the sterilizing agent used here, an inorganic substance or an organic compound which is generally used as a germicidal agent or a sterilizing agent is used. For example, in the case of aluminum materials, silver, copper, zinc, etc. are adsorbed on zeolite, silica gel, silicate glass, etc. to form a powder, or under light (visible light or black light) irradiation represented by titanium oxide. Examples of mixing such as those utilizing a bactericidal effect can be given.

On the other hand, aluminum products have characteristics such as lightness, good workability, good corrosion resistance, relatively high strength and low cost.
It is widely used in the field of transport equipment, daily necessities, casings for household appliances, and packaging materials for food and drink, such as aluminum foil. Metals are often used as alloys by adding other metals, and in some cases, expensive metals to improve their physical properties. Generally, when an alloy is used, rigidity is increased and workability is reduced as compared with a pure metal. It is no exception for soft metals such as aluminum, which are inexpensive and the workability of other metals decreases with the increase in the amount of the other metals. Smaller amounts are often preferred.

[0004] In general, it is desirable for products that come into direct contact with the human body or products in the field of food and drink to have antibacterial properties and sterility. In a product in such a field, a method of applying an antibacterial agent to impart antibacterial properties is not practical because not only the antibacterial properties are lost in a short period of time due to easy abrasion or peeling, but also the cost is increased. Since aluminum itself is a metal material having no antibacterial properties and sterilization properties, a large number of alloy materials containing a large amount of copper or silver having antibacterial properties have been proposed.
1-217648). Looking at these proposals, all require a large amount of copper, resulting in an alloy with a composition that not only loses workability, which is the property of aluminum, but also impairs corrosion resistance, and has poor practicality. Has become. In addition, silver itself is expensive, which causes further cost and economic obstacles in addition to processability and corrosion resistance.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention uses an alloy in which copper and / or silver is blended with aluminum, and an alloy in which magnesium is further blended with these alloys. Copper itself has an antibacterial action, but if its concentration is not less than a certain level, copper cannot exert its ability and cannot exert an antibacterial action. In the present invention, in order to use a low-concentration alloy having a copper concentration of 0.1% by weight to less than 0.5% by weight in an aluminum alloy, a surface layer (in the present invention, "surface layer" means a region within approximately 50 nm from the surface). ) Requires a higher copper concentration than inside. Copper concentration is 0.1% by weight
If it is less than 0.5% by weight, on the other hand, if it is contained in an amount of 0.5% by weight or more, not only the effect of improving the antibacterial property is low compared to the added amount, but also the corrosion resistance is greatly reduced and becomes a problem, and the rigidity is also increased. As a result, the workability is also reduced and the properties of aluminum are impaired.

Silver is also a metal having antibacterial properties. This antibacterial property is effective when contained at 0.05% by weight or more.
However, silver is very expensive compared to aluminum, so it is preferably not more than 0.3% by weight, and adding more than 0.5% by weight is extremely costly. Particularly when it is blended with a small amount of copper, it has an overall effect, and a smaller amount of 0.02% by weight to 0.5% by weight exhibits sufficient antibacterial properties. Magnesium itself has no antibacterial properties at all, but is easily oxidized and has the effect of destroying the denseness of the aluminum oxide film, and thus has the effect of promoting the antibacterial effect of copper, silver and the like. As another method of thinning the oxide film, there is a method of performing alkali annealing or the like, and then quickly drying and then performing final annealing.

Alternatively, in the final step, heat treatment is performed at 230 ° C. to 350 ° C. for 2 to 10 hours. When the temperature is lower than 230 ° C., it takes a long time to segregate copper to the surface layer. When the temperature exceeds 350 ° C., segregation to the surface layer is not recognized. When silver is blended,
Alternatively, when copper and silver are blended or when magnesium is used in combination, not only the antibacterial action is increased but also the heat treatment temperature is allowed up to 400 ° C.

Example 3 The effect of changing the concentrations of copper and silver in aluminum as shown in Table 3 was tested. The sample was heat-treated at 250 ° C. for 5 hours to segregate the copper surface. The average concentration of copper and silver in the alloy, the copper concentration in the surface layer, and the oxide film thickness were measured, and an antibacterial test was performed. Table 3 shows the results.

In order to impart antibacterial properties to aluminum products used in places where humans can directly touch, aluminum or copper is mixed with copper or silver. It is well known that excellent workability and corrosion resistance of aluminum are reduced. The present invention has succeeded in developing an aluminum product having improved antibacterial properties by reducing the reduction in workability, and since the compounding amount may be small, even if expensive silver or the like is used, it is inexpensive. Thus, it was possible to obtain a product which does not lose antibacterial properties for a long period of time.
