Abstract: With a laser decoration method for forming a painting film layer on a surface of a metal base material, and irradiating the painting film layer with a laser beam LB, thereby applying decoration, the decoration part is effectively colored by a simple process, which enables decoration with high visibility while omitting a complicated process. The problem was solved by a production method of a decorated aluminum base material characterized by including a process of forming a painting film layer on a surface of an aluminum base material, a process of partially exposing the surface of the aluminum base material by irradiation with a laser beam, and a process of subjecting the surface of the aluminum base material to an oxide film forming treatment, wherein a colored oxide film is formed on the exposed surface of the aluminum base material by the oxide film forming treatment.

Abstract: A polylactic acid composition including polylactic acid and an ethylene resin, characterized in that the ethylene resin is selected so that a melt flow rate ratio (RMF), defined by the following equation (1): RMF=APLA/BPE (1) where APLA represents the melt flow rate of the polylactic acid measured at 210° C. and 2.16 kg, and BPE represents the melt flow rate of the ethylene resin measured at 190° C. and 2.16 kg, in a range of 0.5 to 10 is satisfied. Also disclosed is a stretch-molded bottle formed using the polylactic acid composition. The polylactic acid composition is preferably used in molding a container particularly improved in alkali resistance and environmental stress crack resistance.

Abstract: Disclosed are a composite material having an anti-wear property and a process for producing the same. The composite material includes a matrix of a low melting point Sn alloy having a melting point of from 80.degree. to 280.degree. C., and metallic dispersing particles dispersed in the matrix in an amount of from 10 to 50% by volume. When the composite material is utilized to make a rough mold for preparing a prototype, it sharply improves the anti-wear property of the rough mold, and it can be re-used for a plurality of times without adversely affecting the sharply improved anti-wear property. The composite material provides the advantages effect best when the metallic dispersing particles are Fe-C alloy dispersing particles and/or Fe-W-C alloy dispersing particles which were subjected to a surface treatment including an Sn or Ni electroplating followed by a ZnCl.sub.2 .cndot.NH.sub.4 Cl flux depositing.
