Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fine yellowish green surface having superior resistance to corrosion, light and tarnish by anodically oxidizing an Al alloy with sulfuric acid and immersing the alloy in an aq. soln. having a specified compsn. contg. (NH4)2CrO4 and Cr<+3> ions at a specified temp. CONSTITUTION:An A alloy contg. Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, ete., is anodically oxidized with sulfuric acid to form an alumite coating film. The Al alloy is then immersed in a neutral aq. soln. perferably of about pH 6-8 contg. 0.2-0.6 mol/l (NH4)2CrO4 and 0.01-0.03 mol/l Cr<+3> at 80-100 deg.C. The Cr<+3> is obtd. by dissolving an org. compd. having trivalent Cr such as chromium acetate in an aq. bath. By the immersion, chromate is deposited in the pores in the alumite coating film and an alumite-chromate combined coating film is formed. By this surface treatment of the Al alloy, a fine yellowish green surface having superior resistance to corrosion, light, fading and tarnish is obtd.
