Surface treatment method for aluminum alloy and surface treatment method for magnesium alloy
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a surface treatment method for an aluminum alloy and a surface treatment method for a magnesium alloy, which enable providing the surface of an aluminum alloy containing magnesium or the surface of a magnesium alloy with sufficient corrosion resistance to corrosive gases, while preventing the surface from scattering magnesium therefrom even when used in a vacuum at a temperature of not less than 300° C. In this method, a carbon fluoride compound is applied over the surface of the aluminum alloy containing magnesium or the surface of the magnesium alloy, followed by heating in an oxygen atmosphere, thereby forming a fluoride passivation film.
1. A surface treatment method for an aluminum alloy comprising:
forming a fluoride passivation film on a surface of the aluminum alloy containing magnesium by applying a solution which is obtained by dispersing a carbon fluoride compound in alkyl ether, ethyl acetate, or butyl acetate over the surface of the aluminum alloy containing magnesium and then heating in an oxygen atmosphere,
wherein a content rate of the carbon fluoride compound is equal to or more than 30% by weight and equal to or less than 50% by weight.
2. The surface treatment method for an aluminum alloy according to claim 1 , heating in the oxygen atmosphere comprises drying the aluminum alloy containing magnesium, and then heating the aluminum alloy containing magnesium.
3. The surface treatment method for an aluminum alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoride passivation film is composed of a metal compound containing magnesium and fluorine.
4. The surface treatment method for the aluminum alloy according to claim 2 , wherein the aluminum alloy containing magnesium is dried at a temperature equal to or higher than a room temperature and equal to or lower than 100° C. for equal to or more than 0.5 hours and equal to or less than 2 hours.
5. The surface treatment method for the aluminum alloy according to claim 2 , wherein the aluminum alloy containing magnesium is heated in the oxygen atmosphere at a temperature equal to or higher than 350° C. and equal to or lower than 500° C. for equal to or more than 8 hours and equal to or less than 24 hours.
6. A surface treatment method for a magnesium alloy comprising:
