BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, an aluminum alloy is preferable because it has a required strength, is easily colored, and is lightweight. In the present invention, the reason why the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy sheet is defined as 75 MPa or more and the proof stress is defined as 25 MPa or more is that even if the tensile strength is less than 75 MPa, the proof stress is 2 MPa.
This is because even at less than 5 MPa, the aluminum alloy plate is deformed at the time of molding or assembling into a hard disk case. The reason why the elongation is specified as 10% or more is 10%
If the ratio is less than the above, breakage cracks occur during molding. In the present invention, the reason for forming the organic resin film only on one side is as follows.
Forming parts etc. with the organic resin film formation side outside,
This is to prevent the adverse effects of the gas generated from the organic resin. In the present invention, the organic resin film may be formed directly on the degreased aluminum alloy plate, but if an undercoat film is formed on the aluminum alloy plate and the organic resin film is formed thereon, corrosion resistance and adhesion Is improved. A chemical conversion treatment, an alumite treatment, a plating method, or the like is applied to the formation of the base coat. For the chemical conversion treatment method, any treatment liquid such as a chromate-based, a zirconium-based, a titanium-based, or a phosphate-based treatment solution can be used.
Among the treatment liquids, chromate-based, zirconium-based,
A chemical conversion treatment method using a titanium-based treatment liquid is desirable in terms of productivity, cost, and performance stability (adhesion, etc.).

In the present invention, by setting the coefficient of friction of the organic resin film to 0.3 or less, excellent moldability can be ensured. In order to reduce the friction coefficient to 0.3 or less, a method using an organic resin film having a low friction coefficient itself, a method using an organic resin to which a lubricant is added, and the like are applied. Examples of the lubricant include petroleum waxes such as polyethylene wax and polypropylene wax, natural waxes such as carnaupa wax, fluorine resin compounds such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinylidene fluoride, and inorganic materials such as graphite and molybdenum disulfide. Lubricants, mixtures thereof, and the like are used. If the amount of the lubricant contained in the organic resin film is less than 0.5% by weight, a sufficient lubricating effect cannot be obtained. The coefficient of friction decreases as the amount of lubricant increases.
%, The adhesion between the organic resin film and the aluminum alloy plate is reduced. Therefore, the amount of the lubricant is 0.5 to
30 wt% is an appropriate amount.

In the present invention, if a coloring pigment or a dye is added to the organic resin film, it is possible to impart design and omit a coating step. Further, by adding a silica compound or an alumina compound, the organic resin film is strengthened and the moldability is improved. It should be noted that excessive addition of the above compound deteriorates the film performance.

In the present invention, the reason why the surface roughness Ra of the organic resin film is specified to be 1.0 to 30 μm is that when the Ra is less than 1.0 μm, the concave portion for holding the lubricating oil is too shallow and the lubricating oil is insufficient. This is because lubricating oil does not enter the concave portion and hardly comes out to the surface when the thickness exceeds 30 μm, and the vicinity of the top of the convex portion on the surface becomes almost non-lubricated, and in any case, moldability deteriorates. As a method of controlling the surface roughness Ra of the organic resin film to 1.0 to 30 μm, an arbitrary method such as a method of including an aggregate having a diameter larger than the thickness of the organic resin film in the organic resin film, a method of rolling with a rough roll, or the like Method is applied. An arbitrary aggregate such as an acrylic aggregate and a nylon aggregate can be used as the aggregate. By including the aggregate, not only the moldability is improved but also the designability is imparted. The surface roughness Ra of the organic resin film is 5 to 5.
20 μm is most desirable. The high formability in the present invention is achieved by a synergistic effect of the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy base plate and the friction coefficient and surface roughness of the organic resin film.

In the present invention, the thickness of the organic resin film is set to 6
The reason why the thickness is specified to be not less than 6 μm is that when the thickness is less than 6 μm, the resin film does not extend uniformly during the molding process, and the convex portions of the resin film fall off to deteriorate the moldability. However, when the organic resin film is too thick, the internal stress of the film increases, and the resin film cannot follow the deformation of the aluminum alloy base plate during molding and peels off. Therefore, the thickness is preferably 50 μm or less.
Organic resin film is used to improve adhesion and corrosion resistance.
More than two layers can be formed. When formed in two or more layers, adhesion and corrosion resistance are further improved.

The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to examples. (Example 1) Aluminum alloy plate (aluminum alloy base plate) having a thickness of 0.75 mm shown in Table 1 was sequentially degreased, washed with water, and ground-treated, and an organic resin film was formed thereon to form an aluminum alloy for a hard disk drive case. Board. Fine cleaner 364S manufactured by Nippon Parkerizing Co., Ltd. was used for the degreasing.
Was used. The base treatment was performed by any of the methods shown in Table 2. The organic resin shown in Table 3 was used for the organic resin film. The organic resin film was formed by a coating method or a lamination method. The roughness of the organic resin film surface of the organic resin containing the aggregate depends on the thickness of the organic resin film to be formed. In addition, some of which did not undergo the base treatment were also included.
A sample was cut out from the obtained aluminum alloy plate, and the formability and outgas resistance were examined by the following methods.
For the purpose of comparison, the same investigation was carried out for those deviating from the conditions of the present invention. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6. (1) Formability The sample is coated with a volatile lubricating oil (G-6281 manufactured by Nippon Kogyo Oil Co., Ltd.) on the surface of the organic resin film, and deep-drawn into a 33 mmφ cylindrical shape so that the organic resin film surface is on the outside. Aperture ratio (LDR)
I asked. ◎, those with a limit drawing ratio (LDR) of 2.10 or more
Those with less than 2.10 and 1.90 or more were marked with ○, and those with less than 1.90 were marked with x. (2) Outgas resistance The outgas resistance of the surface on which the organic resin film was not formed (the surface serving as the inner surface of the case) was examined. The investigation method was to seal the surface of the sample on which the organic resin film was formed, leave it in a closed container kept at 80 ° C for 24 hours, and then return the container to room temperature to allow the gas released from the sample to aggregate on the inner surface of the container. Then, the inner surface of the container is washed with a solvent (isopropylene) to dissolve the agglomerated gas in the solvent.
(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) was used for gas analysis. For comparison, a test was also conducted on an aluminum alloy base plate having an organic resin film formed on both sides, but this was sealed on only one surface and the other surface was left with the organic resin film exposed.

As is clear from Tables 4 to 6, all of the inventive examples (Nos. 1 to 19) are excellent in moldability and outgassing resistance. On the other hand, Nos. 20 and 21 of Comparative Examples did not have an organic resin film formed, and thus fractured during molding. No. 22 was inferior in formability because the yield strength of the aluminum alloy base plate was low and No. 23 was low in elongation of the aluminum alloy base plate. In No. 24, the organic resin film was thin, and the resin film peeled off during molding, causing breakage. No. 25 has no organic resin film containing aggregate and the surface roughness is small.No. 26 has too large surface roughness because the film thickness is thin compared to the diameter of the aggregate. Sufficient lubricity was not obtained, and breakage occurred during molding. No. 27 broke during molding due to the use of an organic resin film with a large coefficient of friction. In No. 28, a large amount of gas was generated because the organic resin film was formed on both sides.
