Abstract
This invention relates to a surface treatment method comprising the steps of providing a treating solution containing a specific ammonium compound or aqueous ammonia, and magnesium silicofluoride, heating the treating solution to a temperature of 70 to 100° C., and soaking aluminum or an aluminum alloy in the treating solution; a piston having a surface coated with a film consisting of a mixture of NH MgAlF and MgAlF ·1.5H O or a mixture of NH MgAlF and MgAl F ·2H O; and a sliding member made of aluminum or the like wherein the whole surface of the sliding member or the sliding surface thereof is coated with a film which consists of either of the aforesaid mixtures, has a cubic crystal structure, and shows no crystalline orientation. The present invention can provide a surface treatment method which requires simple equipment, can reduce treatment costs, and can yield aluminum or an aluminum alloy having excellent abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties, as well as sliding members and pistons having excellent abrasion resistance and other properties.
