Surface-treated aluminum material having improved spot resistance weldability, workability, and corrosion resistance

A surface-treated aluminum material having improved spot resistance weldability, workability with no lubricant oil and corrosion resistance comprising

• (A) an aluminum or aluminum alloy substrate having two major surfaces;
• (B) a chromate film deposited on at least one major surface of said substrate to a coating weight of from 5 to 100 mg/m.sup.2 calculated in terms of elementary chromium;
• and
• (C) an organic resin mixture film deposited on the chromate film to a dry film thickness of from 0.05 to 3.0 .mu.m, said organic resin mixture film comprising
• (a) 100 parts by weight of at least one organic resin selected from the group consisting of epoxy resins, alkyd resins, acryl resins, urethane resins, phenol resins, melamine resins, polyvinyl butyral resins, polyester resins, and copolymers thereof;
• (b) 2 to 40 parts by weight based on the weight of the organic resin of at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyethylene wax and polytetrafluoroethylene resin having an average particle size being in the range of from 0.05 to 20 .mu.m, said average particle size being in the range of from 1.0 to 10 times the dry organic film thickness;
• and
• (c) 1.0 to 40 parts by weight based on the weight of the organic resin of electroconductive finely divided particles having an average particle size in the range of from 0.05 to 5 .mu.m, said average particle size being in the range of from 1.0 to 2 times the dry organic film thickness.
