Abstract

A method of surface pretreatment for aluminium or aluminium alloys before adhesive coating, electroplating or painting comprises a first anodizing step using an acid selected to produce a dense-packed, thick-walled anodic oxide coating followed by an etching step to modify the outer surface of the oxide coating while leaving the inner part unaffected.The anodizing acid may be sulphuric acid or chromic acid and the etch acid may be phosphoric acid, chromic acid or a mixture of sulphuric and chromic acids.
