The method of electrolytically etching the surface of aluminum, iron or the like has been widely put into practical use, and an alternating waveform current is generally used for the purpose of improving required quality and reaction efficiency. For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-19280, by using an alternating waveform voltage applied so that the voltage at the anode is larger than the voltage at the cathode in the electrolytic surface roughening treatment of an aluminum plate, an excellent rough surface as an offset printing plate support is obtained. There is a description that the chemical processing can be performed. Usually, the electrolytic etching treatment is carried out at a current density of 1-5% in an acidic electrolytic bath such as nitric acid or hydrochloric acid.
It is performed at 10 A / dm 2 to 100 A / m 2 . When using an alternating waveform current, for example when using an aluminum plate as a metal web,
During the anode cycle, the dissolution reaction of Al → Al 3+ + 3e occurs, and during the cathode cycle, And Al 3+ + 3OH → Al (OH) 3 hydrogen gas generation reaction and aluminum hydroxide smut formation reaction occur on the aluminum plate. These reactions occur alternately depending on the frequency of the power supply. It is generally possible to obtain the required roughened surface by controlling these basic reactions by controlling the type of bath, concentration, temperature conditions and electric conditions such as current density and amount of electricity input.

However, when an alternating waveform current is used, there is a difference between the portion where the treatment starts due to the dissolution reaction and the portion where the treatment ends due to the current cycle when the metal web enters and leaves the electrolytic cell. These differences naturally occur according to the frequency of the power supply. For example, processing speed 50m / min,
When the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, the difference occurs at a pitch of 1.39 cm in the longitudinal direction of the metal web. In addition, from the viewpoint of higher mass production, high processing speed and high current density processing are desired, and in the case of high-strength aluminum supports containing manganese, etc., which have been increasing in recent years, high quality can be achieved by lowering the frequency. There is also a tendency to produce the lithographic printing plate support. However, it is natural that the nonuniformity depending on the power supply frequency becomes stronger as the current density becomes higher, the processing speed becomes higher, and the frequency becomes lower due to the mechanism of occurrence. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-67700 discloses, by the applicant of the present invention, an electrolytic treatment apparatus characterized in that a soft start zone for performing a low current density treatment is provided at an inlet portion of a metal web, that is, a tip portion of an electrode. .
