Abstract
Copper can be directly chemically converted by the disclosed method and a novel copper-based metallic member is proposed. The chemical conversion film formed on the copper-based metallic member comprises phosphate and copper halide. The chemical conversion bath contains metal ions, phosphoric acid ions, halogen ions, and oxidizer.
Claims8
A copper-based metallic member comprising a substrate consisting of a copper-based metallic material;
- and a chemical conversion film layer formed on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate, said chemical conversion film layer comprising at least one metal phosphate selected from phosphates of zinc, manganese, iron, calcium and magnesium, and at least one copper halide selected from the group consisting of cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide and cuprous iodide.
A copper-based metallic member comprising a substrate consisting of a copper-based metallic material and a chemical conversion film layer formed on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate, said chemical conversion film layer consisting essentially of:
- (a) a metal phosphate selected from the group consisting of zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium and magneisum phosphates;
- and
- (b) a cuprous halide selected from the group consisting of cuprous chloride, bromide and iodide.
