Li 5 [Prior Art] According to the general metal substrate, it is easy to combine with the oxygen of the air to produce an oxide. When the substrate is rusted and oxidized, it will cause damage to the metal substrate. For example, rust causes structural strength to decrease. In order to solve the above problems, the industry has formed an oxide insulating layer on the surface of a metal substrate by anodizing to achieve the purpose of securing the metal substrate. For example, in the case of the Ming substrate, the oxide insulating layer formed on the surface after the anode treatment is alumina (A! 2〇3), and the aluminum substrate is isolated from oxygen through the insulating layer, thereby not only preventing The last name and the purpose of the insulation; in addition, the insulating I5 layer is more resistant to corrosion and high hardness, and can further protect the metal substrate. However, since the general anodizing process is a low voltage processing procedure, the voltage is about 250 volts or less, and the oxide insulating layer has a high density; however, the oxide insulating layer formed in this manner The film formation rate is relatively slow, requires a relatively long man-hour, and the composition of the crystalline state which can be formed is extremely low, and is weak in hardness, and the effect on heat transfer efficiency is also unsatisfactory. In order to solve the above problems, the industry uses a micro arc oxidation anodizing (MAO anodizing) process 4 200846505 mode 'which belongs to the south voltage processing program, and its voltage is about 300 volts (Voltage) ~ 480 volts 〇 Between the illusion, it can provide higher energy for electrochemical reaction, can improve the filming degree of the oxide insulating layer, and increase the proportion of the crystalline state, so that the oxide insulating layer has a higher '5' Hardness; however, the oxide insulating layer formed by such a method has a large void and has a low density, so that the oxide insulating layer cannot be completely covered on the surface of the metal substrate, and the metal substrate cannot be provided with a true In addition, the oxide insulating layer formed by micro-arc oxidation anodization (MAO) has irregular overlapping crystals in structure, and its thermal conductivity is not ideal. Has the disadvantage of poor heat dissipation. In other words, although the micro-arc oxidation anode treatment (MA〇) can reduce the processing time and increase the proportion of crystallization, the oxide insulating layer does not improve in structure and physical properties, and cannot effectively protect the metal. The purpose of the substrate. 15 In summary, the conventional surface treatment technology has the above-mentioned shortcomings and has to be improved.

Thereby, the present invention can improve the crystal structure of the insulating layer and improve the heat transfer coefficient by using the above-mentioned steps, using the electro-chemicai c_de 〇xidati〇n anodizing (ECCO anodizing) technology developed by the inventors. Improve the hardness and heat dissipation effect of the I5. In addition, the voltage operation interval used in the present invention is between the general 10 anodizing method and the micro-arc oxidation anode treatment (mao), which can avoid the electrochemical reaction being too fast, so that the crystal structure can be compared in the case of crystal growth. The regular arrangement is a columnar structure, which can increase the speed of formation of the insulating layer and has the feature of reducing man-hours. In other words, the present invention can overcome the problems of the conventional insulation layer compactness and the film formation speed sowing method, and has the advantages of improving hardness and heat dissipation effect, and has a reduced working time.
