Further, smut adhering to the surface is removed by lightly etching with an alkaline solution such as caustic soda as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-28123. When removing attached smut with an alkaline solution, the surface of the aluminum plate is etched, so alkali-insoluble components remain. Therefore, it is necessary to desmut again with an acidic solution (sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, chromic acid, etc.).
