Problems to be Solved by the Invention
-39314, "Surface treatment method for aluminum"
Since the surface treatment bath used for the above does not contain an agent for removing the oxide film formed on the metal surface from the metal surface, a chemical conversion film is formed on the oxide film. In such a case, since the chemical conversion film becomes non-uniform, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the chemical conversion film in order to satisfy corrosion resistance such as boiling water and retort properties. However, when the thickness of the chemical conversion coating is increased, the adhesion between the coating and the metal surface during necking, that is, the coating adhesion, becomes insufficient. On the other hand, if the adhesion of the coating film is to be satisfied, the chemical conversion film must be made thinner, and the corrosion resistance becomes insufficient because the chemical conversion film is non-uniform.

On the other hand, the fluoride contained in the "coating solution for metal surface" disclosed in JP-B-56-33468 can etch an oxide film formed on a metal surface and release the oxide film from the surface. However, the metal surface is oxidized again because there is no agent for taking in oxygen contained in the detached oxide film. Therefore, as described above, a chemical conversion film is formed on the oxide film,
The conversion coating becomes non-uniform. If the corrosion resistance is to be satisfied in a state where the uniformity of the chemical conversion film is insufficient, the thickness of the chemical conversion film is increased, and the adhesiveness of the coating film becomes insufficient. On the other hand, in order to satisfy the coating film adhesion, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the chemical conversion coating, and the chemical conversion coating is in an uneven state, so that the above-mentioned corrosion resistance becomes insufficient.

Further, phosphorous acid or a salt thereof contained in the surface treatment bath of the present invention acts as a reaction accelerator.

This EC is generally automatically controlled with a fluctuation range of about ± 0.05 ms / cm as an allowable range. However, when the EC of the treatment bath is low, if the fluctuation range of the EC is allowed, the composition of the treatment bath greatly fluctuates, and it becomes difficult to manage the treatment bath. Therefore, in the surface treatment bath of the present invention,
The treatment bath contains nitric acid or a salt thereof having an action of raising the EC value of the treatment bath, and even if the fluctuation range of the EC is within the allowable range, the fluctuation of the phosphoric acid concentration, the zirconium concentration and the pH is within the allowable range. Automatic management to control is enabled.

If the effective fluoride is less than 1 ppm in terms of fluorine in the treatment bath of the present embodiment, the etching of the surface of the aluminum-based metal hardly occurs, so that the aluminum-based metal (including aluminum, aluminum alloy, etc.) The adhesion between the surface and the film decreases.

Here, the effective fluoride means a fluoride that releases fluorine ions in the treatment bath, and the free fluoride ions (F ) in the treatment bath are hereinafter referred to as “effective fluorine ions”. The concentration of this effective fluorine ion can be determined by measuring the treatment bath or the like with a meter having a fluorine ion electrode. Effective fluorine ions, besides etching the oxide film on the aluminum surface, also serve to control or prevent precipitation of zirconium phosphate in the treatment bath. Furthermore, it also has the function of dissolving aluminum dissolved in the treatment bath during the aluminum surface treatment as a complex in the treatment bath to control or prevent adverse effects in the surface treatment process.

At least one kind of nitric acid or a salt thereof is added to the treatment bath of the present embodiment in an amount of 150 to 350 pp in terms of nitric acid.
m, preferably 200 to 250 ppm. When at least one of nitric acid and its salt is less than 150 ppm in terms of nitric acid in the treatment bath of the present embodiment, the composition of the treatment bath greatly fluctuates. On the other hand, if the concentration of nitric acid in the treatment bath is high, a load is imposed on wastewater treatment (nitrogen regulation).

The pH of the treatment bath of the present embodiment is from 2.6 to

If the ratio is less than 2.6, etching becomes excessive and not only the formation of a coating film becomes difficult, but also the blackening resistance to boiling water and the adhesion of the coating film decrease. On the other hand, when the pH of the treatment bath exceeds 3.1, the treatment bath becomes cloudy and sludge is easily generated. Further, since almost no film is formed, the blackening resistance to boiling water is reduced.
