Abstract: A metal material having a coating formed by a surface treatment on the surface of the metal material is provided. The coating has an excellent corrosion resistance with or without a further coating that is equivalent or superior to the prior art coating formed by zinc phosphate treatment or chromate treatment, is free from sludge formation or environmentally harmful components, and is formed by using a component capable of deposition with a simple method.

Abstract: Treating solution for surface treatment of metal to treat one metal material selected from the group consisting of ferriferous material, zinciferous material, aluminiferous material and magnesiferous material or to treat two or more metal materials selected from the group consisting of ferriferous material, zinciferous material, aluminiferous material and magnesiferous material at the same time, wherein the aqueous surface treating solution contains from 5 to 5000 ppm of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of zirconium compound and titanium compound by the metal element, and from 0.1 to 100 ppm of free fluorine ion, further the pH of the treating solution is from 2 to 6. To the treating solution, calcium compound, magnesium compound, strontium compound, nitric acid group, oxygen acid and/or salt of oxygen acid, polymer compound and surface active agent can be added.

Abstract: Disclosed are a process for hot-dip coating a steel material with a molten aluminum alloy according to a one-stage coating method using a flux which comprises removing an oxide layer on a steel material surface, conducting activating treatment, then coating a chloride flux solution and dipping the steel material in a molten aluminum alloy coating bath floated a fluoride-containing flux, thereby coating the steel material surface with aluminum alloy, or comprises removing an oxide layer on a steel material surface, adjusting surface roughness, conducting activating treatment and dipping the steel material in a molten Al--Zn--Si alloy or Al--Si alloy coating bath floated a flux added an iron component, thereby coating the steel material surface with Al--Zn--Si alloy or Al--Si alloy to adhere a large amount thereof and a aluminum alloy coating bath.
