DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for forming a colored film on aluminum, and more particularly to a method for forming a colored film on aluminum using the boehmite method.

Conventionally, electrodeposition coating, electrolytic treatment, chemical conversion treatment, and boehmite treatment have been put into practical use as methods for coloring aluminum surfaces. Among these, electrodeposition coating and electrolytic treatment have problems in terms of cost, and chemical conversion treatment and boehmite treatment are practically superior. However, since chemical conversion treatment uses a chemical conversion treatment liquid containing heavy metals, there are major problems in waste liquid treatment.

On the other hand, boehmite treatment uses water containing a small amount of amine, so waste liquid treatment is relatively simple and is more practical than chemical conversion treatment. Originally, this boehmite treatment has been used for surface treatment of tableware, radiators, fans, etc. because the resulting boehmite film has excellent corrosion resistance and is a relatively simple treatment. Since it has been thought of as a film, there is no need to color it, and for this reason it is often used uncolored.

The present inventor has focused on the above-mentioned boehmite treatment and has been researching a method of forming a colored film on the surface of an aluminum electric wire or the like using this boehmite treatment. In this research, we found that it is necessary to include iron and calcium in the boehmite treatment solution in order to form a colored film, which is contrary to the main purpose of conventional boehmite treatment, which is the formation of an uncolored film. I found it. However, when iron and calcium are added to the solution, the corrosion resistance of the resulting film deteriorates, and it also requires treatment at 90 to 100°C, making it extremely difficult to control the concentration of amines, iron, etc. in the solution. However, it was found that the degree of coloration of the film varied greatly, making it impossible to obtain a film with a stable degree of coloration.

It has been found that it can be formed on aluminum. In particular, it is a truly surprising finding that such a colored film can be formed by adjusting the pH of the amine aqueous solution and the treatment conditions to the above range without adding any iron or calcium as in the past. This is a new fact discovered for the first time.

In the present invention, there are various amines that can be contained in the treatment liquid, and in principle, all amines conventionally used in boehmite treatment are included. Specific examples include monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine, particularly triethanolamine. The content of the amine may be small, but may be such that the pH of the treatment liquid reaches the above-mentioned predetermined value, and is usually about several percent or less. At this time, if the pH does not reach 8, the formation of a film is insufficient, and on the other hand, if it becomes higher than 10, the aluminum surface is activated, and therefore, the growth of the film is difficult to occur.

If the temperature is below 0°C, the rate of film formation is very slow, making it unsuitable for industrial implementation. Moreover, when the temperature is higher than 70°C, the activation effect on the aluminum surface becomes stronger, and the growth of the film tends to be impaired. If the treatment time is less than 2 minutes, almost no film will be formed. The processing time may be appropriately selected from 2 minutes or more depending on the desired color tone.
