Abstract

An aluminum alloy substrate bears a first layer on at least one side thereof, and a second layer on at least part of the first layer. The first layer includes an oxide film containing Mg in a content of from 0.1 atomic percent to less than 30 atomic percent. The second layer contains siloxane bonds. The second layer is disposed in a mass of coating of from 0.1 mg/m 2 to less than 30 mg/m 2 . Assume that parallel polarized light is applied to the side bearing the first layer and the second layer at an incident angle of 75°, and resulting data are analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to give a spectrum. In the spectrum, a peak occurring adjacent to 1057 cm −1 has an area of 0.01 or more with respect to a base line drawn from 1026 cm −1 to 1084 cm −1 .

First claim

1 : An aluminum alloy sheet comprising:
an aluminum alloy substrate; a first layer disposed on at least one side of the aluminum alloy substrate, the first layer comprising an oxide film comprising Mg in a content of from 0.1 atomic percent to less than 30 atomic percent; and a second layer disposed on at least part of the first layer, the second layer comprising a siloxane bond, the second layer being present in a mass of coating of from 0.1 mg/m 2 to less than 30 mg/m 2 , wherein, when parallel polarized light is applied to the side bearing the first layer and the second layer at an incident angle of 75°, and when resulting data are analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to give a spectrum, a peak in the spectrum occurring adjacent to 1057 cm −1 has an area of 0.01 or more with respect to a base line drawn from 1026 cm −1 to 1084 cm −1 .

2 : The aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy substrate has an amount of Cu exposed to a surface of less than 0.5 atomic percent.

3 : The aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy substrate comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of:
Al—Mg alloys; Al—Cu—Mg alloys; Al—Mg—Si alloys; and Al—Zn—Mg alloys.

4 : The aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer on the second layer, the adhesive layer comprising an adhesive.

5 : A bonded article comprising the aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 .

6 : The bonded article according to claim 5 , further comprising another ply of the aluminum alloy sheet,
wherein the two plies of the aluminum alloy sheets are bonded to each other through an adhesive so that the side bearing the first layer and the second layer of one of the two aluminum alloy sheets faces the side bearing the first layer and the second layer of the other.

7 : The bonded article according to claim 5 , further comprising a component selected from:
another aluminum alloy sheet devoid of the first layer and the second layer; and a resin molded article, wherein the component is bonded through an adhesive to the side bearing the first layer and the second layer of the aluminum alloy sheet.

8 : The bonded article according to claim 5 ,
wherein the bonded article comprises: a first aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 , which further comprises an adhesive layer on the second layer, the adhesive layer comprising an adhesive; and a second aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 , and wherein the two aluminum alloy sheets are bonded to each other through the adhesive layer so that the side bearing the adhesive layer of the first aluminum alloy sheet faces the side bearing the first layer and the second layer of the second aluminum alloy sheet.

9 : The bonded article according to claim 5 ,
wherein the bonded article comprises: a first aluminum alloy sheet according to claim 1 , which further comprises an adhesive layer on the second layer, the adhesive layer comprising an adhesive; and a component selected from:
a second aluminum alloy sheet devoid of the first layer and the second layer; and
a resin molded article, and
wherein the component is bonded to the side bearing the adhesive layer of the first aluminum alloy sheet.

10 : The bonded article according to claim 7 , wherein the resin molded article comprises a fiber-reinforced plastic molded article.

11 : An automotive component produced using the bonded article according to claim 5 .
