US. 6679952 (Nippon Paint Co Ltd) Oguri, T; Sato, T et al. A method of coating aluminum and aluminum alloy substrates not only imparts a corrosion resistance comparable or even superior to that afforded by chromate treatment but also improved the adhesion to the coating film, while the luster of aluminum is fully retained, notwithstanding the use of a chromium-free treating solution, resulting in an improved coated article with the coated surface having a metallic luster. The method comprises treating an aluminum or aluminum alloy substrate with an acidic solution containing sulfuric acid and 0.2 to 0.4 g/L of a ferric ion and having a pH value of 0.6 to 2.0, subjecting the same to chemical conversion treatment with an acidic coat-forming agent containing 0.01 to 0.125 g/L of a zirconium or titanium ion, 0.01 to 1.0 g/L of a phosphate ion, and 0.01 to 0.5 g/L fluoride ion and having a pH value of 1.5 to 4.0, followed by coating.

Both the t u b u l a r m e m b e r and the metallic device are positioned within an electrolytic solution and current is passed through the anode to effect the electropolishing process. The invention is useful for electropolishing metal stents formed of metallic alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-tungsten, in which the stent is positioned within the tubular member and immersed in an electrolytic solution for a predetermined time. The electropolishing process using the apparatus of the invention provides an u l t r a s m o o t h and shiny metallic surface on the metallic device for metal stents.
