Description

本発明はアルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%である比強度の高いマグネシウム合金の表面に耐食性、塗膜密着性に優れた化成処理皮膜を形成する方法に関し、より詳しくは、マグネシウム合金の表面の溶出量を制御してエッチング処理し、その後特定の組成且つ特定の付着量の化成処理皮膜が形成されるように化成処理することにより比強度の高いマグネシウム合金の表面に耐食性、塗膜密着性に優れた化成処理皮膜を形成する方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method of forming a chemical conversion film excellent in corrosion resistance and coating film adhesion on the surface of a magnesium alloy having a high specific strength with an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass. Etching is performed by controlling the amount of elution on the surface of the alloy, followed by chemical conversion treatment to form a chemical conversion coating with a specific composition and specific adhesion amount, thereby providing corrosion resistance and coating on the surface of the magnesium alloy having a high specific strength. The present invention relates to a method for forming a chemical conversion film having excellent film adhesion.

近年、各種産業分野において、軽量で、比強度に優れ且つリサイクル性にも優れているマグネシウム合金が注目を浴びており、その用途が広まってきている。しかし、マグネシウム合金はアルミニウム系材料、鉄系材料等に比べて耐食性に劣るという問題点がある。それで、マグネシウム合金の耐食性を改善するために様々な表面処理法や塗装法が提案されている。   In recent years, magnesium alloys, which are lightweight, excellent in specific strength and excellent in recyclability, have attracted attention in various industrial fields, and their uses are spreading. However, magnesium alloys have a problem that they are inferior in corrosion resistance compared to aluminum-based materials and iron-based materials. Therefore, various surface treatment methods and coating methods have been proposed to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.

例えば、ダイカスト法あるいはチクソモールド法により製造されるAZ91材鋳造製品等をノンクロム系化成処理溶液で表面処理して、裸耐食性、防錆性、塗膜密着性、塗膜耐食性を改善すると共に、電磁波シールド性を有効に保持し得るように低電気抵抗率を有する化成処理皮膜を形成することが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   For example, surface treatment of AZ91 cast products manufactured by die casting or thixomold method with a non-chromium chemical conversion treatment solution improves bare corrosion resistance, rust prevention, coating adhesion, coating corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic waves It has been proposed to form a chemical conversion film having a low electrical resistivity so that the shielding property can be effectively maintained (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、AZ31B等に代表され、押し出し材や圧延材として用いられ、アルミニウム含有量が7.5質量%以下と比較的少ない展伸用マグネシウム合金について、その表面からの溶出量が5g/m2以下となるように制御して無機酸又は有機酸でエッチング処理を行い、その後にカルシウムイオン、マンガンイオン及びリン酸イオンを含有する化成処理溶液を用いて表面処理を行って防錆性、塗膜密着性に優れる化成処理皮膜を形成することも提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。 Also, leaching magnesium alloy with a relatively small aluminum content of 7.5% by mass or less, represented by AZ31B and used as an extruded material or a rolled material, has an elution amount from the surface of 5 g / m 2 or less. Etching with an inorganic or organic acid under controlled conditions, followed by a surface treatment using a chemical conversion solution containing calcium, manganese and phosphate ions to prevent rust and paint adhesion It has also been proposed to form a chemical conversion film having excellent properties (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

特開2000−96255号公報JP 2000-96255 A 特開2003−286582号公報JP 2003-286582 A

アルミニウム含有量が7.5質量%以下である展伸用マグネシウム合金の中でもより高い比強度が要求される場合には、アルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%程度であるマグネシウム合金、例えばAZ61等を用いる必要がある。アルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%程度であるマグネシウム合金の耐食性は一般的にはAZ31Bマグネシウム合金とほぼ同等である。しかし、アルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%であるマグネシウム合金を特開2003−286582号公報に記載された発明の好ましい範囲、実施例に記載された範囲で処理しても、後記の比較例のデータからも明らかなように十分な長期耐食性を得ることはできない。   When a higher specific strength is required among the magnifying magnesium alloys having an aluminum content of 7.5% by mass or less, a magnesium alloy having an aluminum content of about 5.5 to 7.5% by mass, For example, it is necessary to use AZ61 or the like. In general, the corrosion resistance of a magnesium alloy having an aluminum content of about 5.5 to 7.5% by mass is substantially equal to that of an AZ31B magnesium alloy. However, even if a magnesium alloy having an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass is treated within the preferable range of the invention described in JP-A No. 2003-286582, the range described in the examples, it will be described later. As is clear from the data of the comparative example, sufficient long-term corrosion resistance cannot be obtained.

本発明は、AZ61等のアルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%である比強度の高いマグネシウム合金の表面に長期耐食性、塗膜密着性に優れた化成処理皮膜を形成する方法を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention provides a method for forming a chemical conversion film excellent in long-term corrosion resistance and coating film adhesion on the surface of a magnesium alloy having a high specific strength with an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass, such as AZ61. The purpose is to do.

本発明等は上記の目的を達成するために鋭意検討した結果、マグネシウム合金としてアルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%である比強度の高いマグネシウム合金を用い、マグネシウム合金の表面の溶出量を制御してエッチング処理し、その後特定の組成且つ特定の付着量の化成処理皮膜が形成されるように化成処理することにより上記の目的が達成されることを見いだし、本発明を完成した。   As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present invention and the like have used a magnesium alloy having a high specific strength with an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass as the magnesium alloy, and the elution of the surface of the magnesium alloy. The present invention was completed by finding that the above-mentioned object was achieved by performing an etching treatment while controlling the amount, and then performing a chemical conversion treatment so that a chemical conversion treatment film having a specific composition and a specific adhesion amount was formed.

即ち、本発明のマグネシウム合金の化成処理皮膜の形成方法は、マグネシウム合金の表面をその表面の溶出量が5g/m2以下となるように制御して無機酸又は有機酸によりエッチング処理し、その後、カルシウムイオン、マンガンイオン及びリン酸イオンを含有する溶液を用いてマグネシウム合金の表面に化成処理皮膜を形成する方法において、該マグネシウム合金としてアルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%である比強度の高いマグネシウム合金を用い、また化成処理皮膜の付着量がCa、Mn及びPの3元素の合計量で550〜1000mg/m2であり且つ化成処理皮膜中のCa、Mn及びPの質量比がMn:Ca:P=1:1〜2:3.5〜5となるように化成処理することを特徴とする。 That is, in the method for forming a chemical conversion treatment film of a magnesium alloy according to the present invention, the surface of the magnesium alloy is controlled to have an elution amount of 5 g / m 2 or less and etched with an inorganic acid or an organic acid. In the method of forming a chemical conversion film on the surface of a magnesium alloy using a solution containing calcium ions, manganese ions and phosphate ions, the magnesium alloy has an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass. A magnesium alloy having a high specific strength is used, and the amount of the chemical conversion coating is 550 to 1000 mg / m 2 in terms of the total amount of the three elements Ca, Mn and P, and the mass of Ca, Mn and P in the chemical conversion coating. Chemical conversion treatment is performed such that the ratio is Mn: Ca: P = 1: 1 to 2: 3.5-5.

本発明のマグネシウム合金の化成処理皮膜の形成方法を採用することにより、アルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%である比強度の高いマグネシウム合金の表面に長期耐食性、塗膜密着性に優れた化成処理皮膜を形成することができる。   By adopting the method for forming a chemical conversion treatment film of a magnesium alloy according to the present invention, the surface of a magnesium alloy having a high specific strength with an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass has long-term corrosion resistance and coating film adhesion. An excellent chemical conversion film can be formed.

以下に、本発明を具体的に説明する。   The present invention will be specifically described below.

本発明のマグネシウム合金の化成処理皮膜の形成方法で用いるマグネシウム合金は、比強度の一層高いマグネシウム合金の用途を考慮して、アルミニウム含有量が5.5〜7.5質量%である比強度の高いマグネシウム合金、例えばAZ61、AZ61A等であり、押し出し加工、圧延加工、あるいは引き抜き加工したマグネシウム合金製品の表面に化成処理皮膜を形成することが好ましい。   The magnesium alloy used in the method for forming a chemical conversion film of a magnesium alloy according to the present invention has a specific strength with an aluminum content of 5.5 to 7.5% by mass in consideration of the use of a magnesium alloy having a higher specific strength. A high magnesium alloy, such as AZ61 or AZ61A, is preferably formed by forming a chemical conversion coating on the surface of the extruded, rolled, or drawn magnesium alloy product.

本発明においてはマグネシウム合金に対して無機酸あるいは有機酸溶液によるエッチング処理を実施することが必須であるが、押し出し加工、圧延加工、あるいは引き抜き加工したマグネシウム合金製品等の表面には切削油、離型剤等が残っているので、エッチング処理に先立ってマグネシウム合金をリン酸塩水溶液で脱脂処理することが好ましい。リン酸塩水溶液で脱脂処理することにより切削油は除去でき、また離型剤は軟化して除去しやすくなる。   In the present invention, it is indispensable to carry out an etching treatment with an inorganic acid or an organic acid solution on the magnesium alloy, but the surface of the extruded, rolled, or drawn magnesium alloy product or the like has a cutting oil and a release agent. Since the mold agent and the like remain, it is preferable to degrease the magnesium alloy with an aqueous phosphate solution prior to the etching treatment. By degreasing with an aqueous phosphate solution, the cutting oil can be removed, and the release agent is softened and easily removed.

本発明においてエッチング処理に用いられる無機酸及び有機酸として、リン酸、酸性フッ化アンモニウム、硝酸、塩酸、蓚酸、硫酸、クエン酸、酒石酸等の水溶液を挙げることができる。このような酸を用いたエッチング処理により離型剤やマグネシウム合金素材表面に析出した合金不均一層を溶解除去することができる。   Examples of the inorganic acid and organic acid used for the etching treatment in the present invention include aqueous solutions of phosphoric acid, acidic ammonium fluoride, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and the like. The alloy heterogeneous layer deposited on the surface of the mold release agent or the magnesium alloy material can be dissolved and removed by etching using such an acid.

このエッチング処理においてはマグネシウム合金表面からの溶出量を5g/m2以下に制御する必要がある。溶出量が5g/m2を超えるとマグネシウム合金表面が過剰に荒れた状態となる傾向があり、このような過剰に荒れた状態の表面に皮膜形成処理を実施すると化成処理皮膜が過剰に析出し、皮膜量が過大となるばかりでなく、過剰析出成分が微粉となって表面に残留した状態となる傾向がある。また、そのような化成処理皮膜表面に塗装を行った場合には、塗膜種によっては密着性、特に耐水密着性が著しく低下する。 In this etching process, it is necessary to control the elution amount from the surface of the magnesium alloy to 5 g / m 2 or less. When the amount of elution exceeds 5 g / m 2 , the magnesium alloy surface tends to be excessively roughened, and when a film forming treatment is performed on such an excessively rough surface, the chemical conversion film is excessively deposited. In addition to the excessive amount of the coating, there is a tendency that the excessively precipitated components become fine powder and remain on the surface. Moreover, when coating is performed on the surface of such a chemical conversion treatment film, the adhesion, particularly the water-resistant adhesion, is remarkably lowered depending on the type of coating film.

従って、無機酸あるいは有機酸によるエッチング処理工程を上記した作用に適う処方で実施することが必要である。このエッチング処理における好ましい処方は、例えば、リン酸溶液については0.1〜1.5質量%の濃度とし、常温〜70℃の温度で10秒間〜10分間の浸漬処理を行うことである。このリン酸の濃度が0.1質量%未満であったり、処理時間が10秒未満であるとエッチング処理が不完全となる傾向がある。エッチング処理が不完全であると、マグネシウム合金表面に残留した潤滑油等の成分の除去が不十分で、エッチング処理後に形成される化成処理皮膜についての裸耐食性や塗膜密着性等について不良の原因となる。   Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the etching treatment step using an inorganic acid or an organic acid with a formulation suitable for the above-described action. A preferable prescription in this etching treatment is, for example, a phosphoric acid solution having a concentration of 0.1 to 1.5% by mass and an immersion treatment for 10 seconds to 10 minutes at a temperature of room temperature to 70 ° C. If the concentration of phosphoric acid is less than 0.1% by mass or the treatment time is less than 10 seconds, the etching treatment tends to be incomplete. If the etching process is incomplete, the removal of components such as lubricating oil remaining on the surface of the magnesium alloy is insufficient, and the cause of defects in the bare corrosion resistance, coating adhesion, etc. of the chemical conversion film formed after the etching process It becomes.

一般論として、リン酸溶液の濃度が高ければ、比較的低い温度で且つ比較的短時間で所望程度のエッチング処理が完了し、エッチング液の温度が高ければ、比較的低いリン酸溶液濃度で且つ比較的短時間で所望程度のエッチング処理が完了し、また、処理時間を長くすれば、比較的低いリン酸溶液濃度で且つ比較的低い温度で所望程度のエッチング処理が完了する。なお、このリン酸の濃度が10質量%を超えたり、処理時間が10分間を超えると、エッチングが過度に進んでマグネシウム合金表面が過剰に荒れた状態となる傾向があり、前記したような欠陥に繋がる。   In general, if the concentration of the phosphoric acid solution is high, the desired etching process is completed at a relatively low temperature and in a relatively short time, and if the temperature of the etching solution is high, the concentration of the phosphoric acid solution is low and The desired etching process is completed in a relatively short time. If the processing time is increased, the desired etching process is completed at a relatively low phosphoric acid solution concentration and at a relatively low temperature. In addition, when the concentration of this phosphoric acid exceeds 10% by mass or the treatment time exceeds 10 minutes, there is a tendency that etching proceeds excessively and the surface of the magnesium alloy becomes excessively rough, and the defects as described above. It leads to.

なお、酸を用いたエッチング処理の際にスマットが生じることがあり、その場合には高アルカリ水溶液で処理してスマットを溶解除去し、不動態化膜を生成させることが好ましい。   Note that smut may be generated during the etching process using an acid. In such a case, it is preferable that the smut be dissolved and removed by treatment with a highly alkaline aqueous solution to form a passivated film.

本発明においては、エッチング処理後に、そのマグネシウム合金をカルシウムイオン、マンガンイオン及びリン酸イオンを含有する化成処理浴中に浸漬して化成処理を行う。なお、この化成処理浴は所望により酸化促進剤を含有することができ、酸化促進剤を含有する方がより好ましい。   In the present invention, after the etching treatment, the magnesium alloy is subjected to chemical conversion treatment by immersing it in a chemical conversion treatment bath containing calcium ions, manganese ions and phosphate ions. In addition, this chemical conversion treatment bath can contain an oxidation accelerator if desired, and it is more preferable to contain an oxidation accelerator.

この化成処理浴に用いるカルシウムイオン源として、硝酸カルシウム、亜硝酸カルシウム、チオ硫酸カルシウム、リン酸二水素カルシウム等の一種又は二種以上を配合することができる。また、マンガンイオン源として、炭酸マンガン、硝酸マンガン、リン酸水素マンガン、重リン酸マンガン、ホウフッ化マンガン等の一種又は二種以上を配合することができる。また、リン酸イオン源として、オルソリン酸、縮合リン酸、亜リン酸、次亜リン酸等の一種又は二種以上を配合することができる。   As a calcium ion source used in this chemical conversion treatment bath, one or more of calcium nitrate, calcium nitrite, calcium thiosulfate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate and the like can be blended. Moreover, 1 type (s) or 2 or more types, such as manganese carbonate, manganese nitrate, manganese hydrogen phosphate, manganese biphosphate, manganese borofluoride, can be mix | blended as a manganese ion source. Moreover, 1 type, or 2 or more types, such as orthophosphoric acid, condensed phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid, can be mix | blended as a phosphate ion source.

また、酸化促進剤として、塩素酸ナトリウム、次亜塩素酸ナトリウム等を用いることができる。この酸化促進剤が存在することにより、化成処理時に、マグネシウム合金と上記の各成分イオンとの反応性を高めて、裸耐食性等が良好な化成処理皮膜を一層好都合に形成することができる。また、この酸化促進剤の好ましい配合量は、上記の性能の化成処理皮膜を安定的に得るために、0.02〜2g/Lの範囲の量である。   Moreover, sodium chlorate, sodium hypochlorite, etc. can be used as an oxidation accelerator. The presence of this oxidation accelerator can increase the reactivity between the magnesium alloy and each of the above-mentioned component ions during the chemical conversion treatment, and more conveniently form a chemical conversion treatment film having good bare corrosion resistance and the like. Moreover, the preferable compounding quantity of this oxidation accelerator is the quantity of the range of 0.02-2g / L, in order to obtain the chemical conversion treatment film of said performance stably.

本発明においては、上記の化成処理浴を用いた化成処理で、マグネシウム合金表面との反応により適度な膜厚で、緻密で、且つ所定量のカルシウム、マンガン及びリンを含むリン酸カルシウム−リン酸マンガンの複合化成処理皮膜が生成し、一定の裸耐食性、塗膜密着性及び塗膜耐食性が達成される。   In the present invention, in the chemical conversion treatment using the above chemical conversion treatment bath, calcium phosphate-manganese phosphate containing a predetermined amount of calcium, manganese, and phosphorus having an appropriate film thickness and a precise thickness by reaction with the magnesium alloy surface. A composite chemical conversion film is formed, and certain bare corrosion resistance, coating film adhesion and coating film corrosion resistance are achieved.

このマグネシウム合金の表面に形成する化成処理皮膜の付着量がCa、Mn及びPの3元素の合計量で550〜1000mg/m2となるように化成処理することが好ましい。化成処理皮膜の付着量がCa、Mn及びPの3元素の合計量で550mg/m2未満になると、その化成処理皮膜上に塗膜を形成しても塗膜の耐食性が不十分となる傾向がある。逆に、化成処理皮膜の付着量がCa、Mn及びPの3元素の合計量で1000mg/m2を超えると、化成処理皮膜の膜厚が厚くなり、化成処理皮膜に対する塗膜の密着性が低下する傾向があり、また、化成処理時間が長くなり、実用的ではない。 The chemical conversion treatment is preferably performed so that the amount of the chemical conversion film formed on the surface of the magnesium alloy is 550 to 1000 mg / m 2 in terms of the total amount of the three elements Ca, Mn and P. When the adhesion amount of the chemical conversion coating film is less than 550 mg / m 2 in terms of the total amount of the three elements Ca, Mn and P, the corrosion resistance of the coating film tends to be insufficient even if a coating film is formed on the chemical conversion coating film. There is. On the contrary, when the adhesion amount of the chemical conversion coating exceeds 1000 mg / m 2 in terms of the total amount of the three elements of Ca, Mn and P, the chemical conversion coating becomes thick, and the adhesion of the coating to the chemical conversion coating is increased. It tends to decrease, and the chemical conversion treatment time becomes long, which is not practical.

また、化成処理皮膜中のカルシウムとリンは化成処理皮膜の裸耐食性の向上に寄与し、またマンガンは塗膜密着性の向上に寄与するものと考えられ、優れた化成処理皮膜を安定的に得るために、このマグネシウム合金の表面に形成する化成処理皮膜中のCa、Mn及びPの質量比がMn:Ca:P=1:1〜2:3.5〜5となるように化成処理することが好ましい。化成処理皮膜中のCa、Mn及びPの質量比が上記の範囲から外れる場合には化成処理皮膜の裸耐食性、塗膜密着性の何れかが不十分となる傾向がある。   In addition, calcium and phosphorus in the chemical conversion coating contribute to the improvement of the bare corrosion resistance of the chemical conversion coating, and manganese is considered to contribute to the improvement of the adhesion of the coating, so that an excellent chemical conversion coating can be stably obtained. Therefore, the chemical conversion treatment is performed so that the mass ratio of Ca, Mn and P in the chemical conversion coating formed on the surface of the magnesium alloy is Mn: Ca: P = 1: 1 to 2: 3.5-5. Is preferred. When the mass ratio of Ca, Mn and P in the chemical conversion coating is out of the above range, either the naked corrosion resistance or the coating adhesion of the chemical conversion coating tends to be insufficient.

上記のような化成処理皮膜を得るためには、化成処理浴中の上記の各成分について、カルシウムイオンが0.3〜10g/L、マンガンイオンが0.1〜5g/L及びリン酸イオンが1〜30g/Lの濃度となるように配合することが好ましい。これらの各成分について、このような濃度範囲の配合量にすることにより、マグネシウム合金の表面に裸耐食性や塗膜密着性等の良好な化成処理皮膜を安定的かつ経済的に形成することができる。   In order to obtain the chemical conversion coating as described above, for each of the above components in the chemical conversion bath, the calcium ion is 0.3 to 10 g / L, the manganese ion is 0.1 to 5 g / L, and the phosphate ion is It is preferable to mix | blend so that it may become a density | concentration of 1-30 g / L. About these each component, by making it the compounding quantity of such a concentration range, favorable chemical conversion treatment films, such as bare corrosion resistance and coating film adhesion, can be stably and economically formed on the surface of a magnesium alloy. .

なお、化成処理浴中のカルシウムイオンが不足する場合には、得られる化成処理皮膜の裸耐食性や塗膜密着性等が低下する傾向があり、また、マンガンイオンやリン酸イオンが不足する場合には、塗膜密着性の低下に加えて、酸化促進剤からの塩素イオンに起因して白錆が発生する原因となる傾向がある。   In addition, when the calcium ion in the chemical conversion treatment bath is insufficient, there is a tendency that the naked corrosion resistance, coating film adhesion, etc. of the chemical conversion treatment film to be obtained are reduced, and when the manganese ion or phosphate ion is insufficient. Tends to cause white rust due to chlorine ions from the oxidation accelerator, in addition to a decrease in coating film adhesion.

また、この化成処理浴はpH1.0〜3.0に調整されていることが好ましい。このpH値が1.0未満であると、化成処理時に生じるエッチング量が過大となって、マグネシウム合金製品の寸法精度上の問題が生じると共に、裸耐食性の低下をきたす傾向がある。また、このpH値が3.0を超えると、化成処理皮膜の裸耐食性等の性能の低下をきたす傾向がある。   Moreover, it is preferable that this chemical conversion treatment bath is adjusted to pH 1.0-3.0. If this pH value is less than 1.0, the etching amount generated during the chemical conversion treatment becomes excessive, which causes a problem in dimensional accuracy of the magnesium alloy product and tends to lower the bare corrosion resistance. Moreover, when this pH value exceeds 3.0, there exists a tendency for performance, such as a bare corrosion resistance, of a chemical conversion treatment film to fall.

また、この化成処理浴は30〜75℃の範囲の温度に維持されていることが好ましい。この化成処理浴温度が30℃未満であると、化成処理皮膜の形成に長時間を要し、化成処理皮膜の裸耐食性等について不良の原因となったりする傾向がある。この化成処理浴温度が75℃を超えると、化成処理皮膜の裸耐食性等の性能が低下する傾向がある。   Moreover, it is preferable that this chemical conversion treatment bath is maintained at the temperature of the range of 30-75 degreeC. When this chemical conversion bath temperature is less than 30 ° C., it takes a long time to form the chemical conversion coating, and there is a tendency to cause defects in the naked corrosion resistance of the chemical conversion coating. When this chemical conversion treatment bath temperature exceeds 75 degreeC, there exists a tendency for performance, such as bare corrosion resistance, of a chemical conversion treatment film to fall.

この化成処理浴による化成処理のための時間は化成処理浴温度と相関関係にある。即ち、化成処理浴温度が50℃未満である場合には3〜20分間浸漬することが好ましく、また化成処理浴温度が50℃以上の場合には0.5〜10分間浸漬することが好ましい。化成処理浴温度が50℃未満で浸漬時間が短いと、化成処理皮膜の形成量が不十分となる。また化成処理浴温度が50℃以上で浸漬時間が長いと、形成された化成処理皮膜の再溶出が生じて裸耐食性等の性能の低下をきたすことがある。   The time for the chemical conversion treatment in this chemical conversion bath has a correlation with the chemical conversion bath temperature. That is, when the chemical conversion bath temperature is less than 50 ° C., it is preferable to immerse for 3 to 20 minutes, and when the chemical conversion bath temperature is 50 ° C. or higher, it is preferable to immerse for 0.5 to 10 minutes. When the chemical conversion bath temperature is less than 50 ° C. and the immersion time is short, the amount of chemical conversion coating film formed becomes insufficient. Moreover, when the chemical conversion bath temperature is 50 ° C. or higher and the immersion time is long, the formed chemical conversion coating film may be re-eluted and performance such as bare corrosion resistance may be deteriorated.

本発明は上記したような各処理工程を含む化成処理皮膜の形成方法であり、上記した各処理工程に引き続いてそれぞれ水洗工程を含ませることが好ましく、また、化成処理に引き続いて、一般的な化成処理皮膜の形成方法に従って、水洗し、乾燥させる。これらの諸工程をフローチャート式に記載すると次の通りである:脱脂→水洗→エッチング→水洗→スマット除去→水洗→化成処理(化成処理皮膜形成)→水洗→脱イオン水で水洗→水切り乾燥。   The present invention is a method of forming a chemical conversion treatment film including each treatment step as described above, and preferably includes a water washing step subsequent to each treatment step described above, and following a chemical conversion treatment, According to the formation method of the chemical conversion film, it is washed with water and dried. These steps are described in a flow chart as follows: degreasing → washing → etching → washing → smut removal → water washing → chemical conversion treatment (formation of chemical conversion film) → water washing → water washing with deionized water → draining and drying.
