[0003] Conventionally, press oil with a relatively high viscosity of 4 to 8 cst was used during press processing in this process, but in recent years, solvents (fluorocarbons, trichloroethane, trichlene, etc.) to remove press oil after press processing have been used. The viscosity is as low as 1 to 2 cst, with the aim of omitting degreasing by

Volatile press oil has the property that most of the oil content evaporates after pressing due to its high volatility, making degreasing unnecessary. However, due to its low viscosity, conventional surface treatment is difficult. However, there is a problem in that the moldability is decreased, specifically, processing defects such as collar skipping, buckling, and peeling of the surface treatment film occur frequently, resulting in a decrease in productivity.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the occurrence of processing defects due to the use of volatile press oil in the press processing of such fin materials, and in particular the increase in mold wear of silica-based hydrophilic treated materials, the present inventors have solved the problem. As a result of intensive research in order to improve the deterioration of workability caused by press oil through surface treatment, we have found that by surface treating a specific resin within a specified film thickness, good moldability is achieved regardless of lubricating oil. It has been found that the present invention can be obtained without impairing the excellent hydrophilicity characteristic of silica-based hydrophilic treatment.

First, wear was evaluated by measuring the R diameter (see FIG. 2) of the end face of the burring punch after 50,000 punch presses. The larger the R diameter, the greater the wear. Regarding seizure, we observed the appearance of the second ironing punch after 50,000 punch presses and found ○ (no abnormality), △ (foreign matter adhesion).
Evaluation was made as follows: ``Seize-in'') and ``X'' (Foreign matter adhesion, punch flaws). Regarding film peeling, the remaining state of the surface treatment film on the inner surface of the collar of the fin processed product was investigated and evaluated as ○ (no peeling), Δ (partial peeling), and × (full peeling).

[0020] As is clear from Table 1, all of the examples of the present invention exhibit no seizure even when using volatile press oil, have little mold wear, and have good hydrophilicity. On the other hand, in the case of only silica-based treatment (Comparative Examples No. 6 to No. 7), although the use of conventional oil (No. 7) showed good results, the use of volatile press oil (No. 7) showed good results. In case of .6), some seizure occurs and mold wear tends to increase. Comparative example no. 8~No. No. 9 is an example in which the thickness of the hydrophilic resin film is outside the range of the present invention. No. 8 had insufficient mold wear reduction effect due to the thin film thickness; In No. 9, the film was too thick and the film peeled off on the inner surface of the collar. Comparative example N
o. No. 10 is an example in which a type of resin outside the scope of the present invention was provided, and the hydrophilicity tends to decrease.
