摘要： Techniques for forming an enclosure comprised of an aluminum alloy are disclosed. In some embodiments, aluminum ions and metal element ions can be dissolved in a non-aqueous ionic liquid in an electrolytic plating bath. A reverse pulsed electric current can facilitate in co-depositing the aluminum ions and the metal element ions onto a metal substrate. The resulting aluminum alloy layer can include nanocrystalline structures, which can impart the alloy layer with increased hardness and increased resistance to scratching, corrosion, and abrasion. In some embodiments, the metal element ion is chromium and the aluminum alloy layer includes a chromium oxide passivation layer formed via a passivation process. Subsequent to the passivation process, the formation of the chromium oxide layer does not impart a change in color to the aluminum alloy layer. In some embodiments, hafnium ions are co-deposited with aluminum ions to form an aluminum hafnium alloy.

摘要： A method of producing a surface-treated steel sheet is provided. The surface-treated steel sheet includes a layer that contains a metal oxide. The method is characterized by including: dipping a steel sheet for 0.1 to 10 seconds in a treatment liquid that contains at least fluoride ions and has a pH of 2 to 5; and electrically treating by flowing a direct current between the steel sheet and an electrode in a treatment liquid to form a layer that contains a metal oxide on a surface of the steel sheet. According to the present invention, there can be provided a method of producing a surface-treated steel sheet which can enhance the interfacial adhesion with an organic resin layer when the organic resin layer is formed on the metal oxide layer.
