Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to an aluminum member including a mother material containing aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and an anodic oxide film on the surface of the mother material. The anodic oxide film has a barrier layer on the surface of the mother material, and a porous layer on the barrier layer), and the BET specific surface area of the anodic oxide film is 0.1 to 10.0 m 2 /g.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An aluminum member comprising: a mother material containing aluminum or an aluminum alloy; and an anodic oxide film on a surface of the mother material, wherein the anodic oxide film has a barrier layer on a surface of the mother material, and a porous layer on the barrier layer, and a BET specific surface area of the anodic oxide film is 0.1 to 10.0 m 2 /g. 2 . The aluminum member according to claim 1 , wherein a Hunter whiteness of the aluminum member, measured from a surface side of the anodic oxide film, is 65 or more. 3 . A method of manufacturing the aluminum member according to claim 1 , comprising: a step of preparing a mother material comprising aluminum or an aluminum alloy; and a step of performing an anodic oxidation treatment on the mother material in an electrolytic solution including: (a) a first acid being an inorganic acid or a salt of the first acid; and (b) at least one second acid selected from the group consisting of diphosphoric acid, triphosphoric acid, and polyphosphoric acid, or a salt of the second acid. 4 . The method of manufacturing the aluminum member according to claim 3 , wherein in the step of performing the anodic oxidation treatment, a concentration of the first acid or a salt of the first acid in the electrolytic solution is 0.005 to 7.0 mol·dm −3 , and a concentration of the second acid or a salt of the second acid in the electrolytic solution is 0.005 to 10.0 mol·dm −3 . 5 . The method of manufacturing the aluminum member according to claim 3 , wherein in the step of performing the anodic oxidation treatment, a current density is 2 to 150 mA·cm −2 , and an electrolysis time is 10 to 700 minutes.
