Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the adhesivness of an antifriction metal at the time of a coating treatment by previously subjecting a silicon-contg. piston body to a pickling treatment prior to an anodic oxidation treatment at the time of subjecting the surface of the piston body to the anodic oxidation treatment and coating the surface with the antifriction metal. CONSTITUTION:The surface of the piston body made of the Al alloy contg. about >=9.4wt.% silicon is subjected to the anodic oxidation treatment at about 20 to 70 deg.C in a bath contg. about 50 to 300g/l phosphoric acid and is then coated with the antifriction metal (iron, Ni, Co, etc.) by electroplating. The piston body is previously subjected to the pickling treatment by immersing the same into a bath contg., for example, about 75% nitric acid and about 25% hydrogen fluoride to sufficiently dissolve away Si particles existing on the surface of the piston body prior to the anodic oxidation treatment in this operation. Thus, the surface of the piston body is coated with the antifriction metal with the good adhesiveness.
