Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plating method of a magnesium alloy base material by which excellent adhesion of the plating film is attained and plating swelling is surely prevented by carrying out the plating after inclusion such as the soiling on the surface is removed in a pretreatment in the plating of the surface of the magnesium alloy base material. SOLUTION: The plating pretreatment comprising: an etching step of removing an anodized film; a successive desmutting step; and a metal substitution treatment is applied successively after an anodizing treatment of a magnesium alloy base material which is applied with a pretreatment before a plating step. Then, excellent adhesion of the plating film is attained and plating swelling is surely prevented because the plating is carried out after inclusion such as the soiling on the surface is removed in the pretreatment in the plating of the surface of the magnesium alloy base material.
