Abstract

The present disclosure provides a surface-treated aluminum material having excellent adhesiveness to resins, on the surface of which an oxide film is formed, the oxide film comprising a surface-side porous aluminum oxide film having a thickness of 20 to 500 nm and a base-side barrier aluminum oxide film having a thickness of 3 to 30 nm, wherein small pores each having a diameter of 5 to 30 nm are formed on the porous aluminum oxide film, and the length of cracks formed in a boundary between the porous aluminum oxide film and the barrier aluminum oxide film is not more than 50% of the length of the boundary, a method for manufacturing the surface-treated aluminum material, and a surface-treated aluminum material-resin bonded body, comprising the surface-treated aluminum material and a resin that covers the surface of the oxide film formed thereon.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A surface-treated aluminum material having adhesiveness to resins comprising:
an oxide film located on a surface of a coiled aluminum material, the oxide film comprising:
a surface-side porous aluminum oxide film having a thickness of 20 to 500 nm, the surface-side porous aluminum oxide film having small pores, each small pore having a diameter of 5 to 30 nm;
a base-side barrier aluminum oxide film having a thickness of 3 to 30 nm; and
a boundary between the surface-side porous aluminum oxide film and the base-side barrier aluminum oxide film, the boundary comprising a crack wherein a length of the crack is less than 50% of a length of the boundary,
wherein a thickness of the oxide film comprises the thickness of the surface-side porous aluminum oxide film and the thickness of the base-side barrier aluminum oxide film, and
wherein a measured thickness of the oxide film falls within a range of (0.5×T) to (1.5×T) where T is an arithmetic mean of the thickness of the oxide film measured at not less than ten arbitrary sites on the surface-treated aluminum material.

2. A method for manufacturing the surface-treated aluminum material having excellent adhesiveness to resins according to claim 1 , comprising conducting alternating-current electrolytic treatment using an electrode made of an aluminum material that is continuously fed and supplied into an electrolyte solution and a fixed counter electrode, the electrolyte solution being an alkaline aqueous solution having a pH of 9 to 13 at a solution temperature of 35 to 85° C., under conditions of a frequency of 10 to 100 Hz, a current density of 4 to 50 A/dm 2 , and a period of electrolysis time of 5 to 300 seconds, thereby forming an oxide film on the surface of a portion of the aluminum material opposed to the counter electrode,
wherein the electrode made of an aluminum material and the counter electrode are continuously energized, and time required for the current density in the electrolytically treated aluminum material portion to reach below 1 A/dm 2 after the elapse of the electrolysis time is set to not more than 10.0 seconds.

3. The method for manufacturing the surface-treated aluminum material having excellent adhesiveness to resins according to claim 2 , wherein an interelectrode distance between the electrode made of the aluminum material and the counter electrode is 2 to 150 mm.
