Abstract
Disclosed herein is an electric Al or Al alloy plating bath which comprises (A) an aluminum halide; (B) one kind of compound or at least two kinds of compounds selected from the group consisting of N-alkylpyridinium halides, N-alkylimidazolium halides, N,N'-alkylimidazolium halides, N-alkyl-pyrazolium halides, N,N′-alkylpyrazolium halides, N-alkylpyrrolidinium halides and N,N-alkyl-pyrrolidinium halides; and (C) a high boiling point aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, wherein the molar ratio of the aluminum halide (A) to the compound (B) ranges from 1:1 to 3:1 and the flash point of the plating bath is not less than 50° C. The plating bath never involves any risk of causing an explosion, can be handled industrially with safety and can provide a smooth and fine Al of Al alloy plated film. Moreover, the resulting film has high resistance to corrosion even when it does not contain any chromium and therefore, it is quite suitable from the viewpoint of the environmental protection and it can thus be used in a wide variety of applications including the plating of parts for motorcars, and the plating of parts for electrical appliances.
