Abstract
Metal plated aluminum product with good adhesion between aluminum substrate and plated metal are found to be producible by the process which comprises: electrolyzing aluminum or aluminum alloys by A.C. or superimposed A.C. and D.C. in an electrolytic solution capable of producing a growth type or barrier type anodic oxide coating onto the surface of the aluminum or aluminum alloy and comprising an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble acid and a water-soluble heavy metal salt, thereby to impart good adhesion properties to the aluminum or aluminum alloy surface and render it suitable as a substrate for plating of additional metal thereon, metal plating on the resulting aluminum substrate, and subjecting said plated substrate to a heat treatment to enhance the adhesion between the substrate and the additional metal plated thereon.
