Abstract

A metal article comprises two metals, and a first hole and an oxide layer are set correspondingly on the surfaces of the two metals. To avoid the electrolytic corrosion on the interface between the two metals during the formation of the first hole, the disclosure provides a method of manufacturing the metal article. By putting a metal substrate in a first electrolyte including an etching agent and a passivating agent and applying electricity on the metal substrate, the metal article with the first hole is formed without electrolytic corrosion. The disclosure also provides a metal composite, which is formed by setting a material part in the first hole of the metal article.

Claims (7)

1. A method for manufacturing a metal article, comprising:

putting a metal substrate into a first electrolyte, wherein the first electrolyte comprises an etching agent and a passivating agent; the metal substrate comprises a first metal layer and a second metal layer, and the second metal layer is set on a surface of the first metal layer; and

applying electricity on the metal substrate to form a first hole on the surface of the first metal layer, and to form an oxide layer on the surface of a second metal layer, thereby obtaining the metal article.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the etching agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, sulfate and nitrate; the passivating agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, sulfate, nitrate, oxalate, phosphate and citrate; an acid radical of the etching agent is different from an acid radical of the passivating agent; and at least one of the etching agents and passivating agents comprise hydrogen ion.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

putting the metal article with the first hole into an alkaline solution to remove the oxide layer; and

putting the metal article with the oxide layer removed into a second electrolyte, to form a second hole on a surface of the second metal layer.
