Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the corrosion resistance by applying the sealing process on the porous surface of an aluminum electrode layer, forming a positive electrode oxide film on the surface of the sealed aluminum electrode layer, and further applying the sealing process on this film by steam processing. CONSTITUTION:The sealing process is applied on the surface portion of air holes 8a of an aluminum electrode layer 8 by shot peening, and when the positive electrode oxidizing process is applied a thin alumite layer 9 is formed without oxidizing the aluminum electrode layer 8 to its inside. Thereby, the corrosion resistance can be largely improved without impairing the function of the electrode layer 8 as an electrode and a heat-conduction material. In addition, the sealing process by steam processing is also applied on an alumite layer 9, and lead halogenide is prevented from infiltrating inside through air holes of the alumite layer 9. This heating element 7 is employed as an intake heating PTC heater 4.

It is formed by μ. Further, the alumite layer 9 is subjected to pore sealing treatment by steam treatment, and the fine pores generated during the anodic oxidation are crushed, leaving the surface of the alumite layer 9 free of pores. As shown in Fig. 4, if the thickness of the alumite layer 9 exceeds 1Oμ, the electrical resistivity of the aluminum electrode will increase, which will reduce the vaporization performance of the heater. Preferably, layer 9 has a layer thickness of less than 10 microns.
