Abstract

An aluminum material for use in a vacuum is produced by a process comprising the steps of removing a hydrated oxide coating from the surface of a worked aluminum material to obtain a clean surface in a dry state, and heating the aluminum material in an oxygen gas-containing atmosphere out of contact with the water-containing atmosphere to form an oxide coating on the dry clean surface.
