Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a planographic printing plate aluminum support by using a twin-roll continuous casting method. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing a planographic printing plate aluminum support which is good in surface quality so that stripe-like surface-quality defects can be prevented from being generated in an aluminum plate continuously or intermittently in its rolling direction.
  • An aluminum plate (including an aluminum alloy plate) is used as a printing plate aluminum support, especially, as an offset printing plate support.
  • the aluminum plate is required to have both moderate attaching property and moderate water retention property with respect to a light-sensitive material.
  • the surface of the aluminum plate must be roughened to have uniform and fine particles. Because the surface-roughening treatment has a remarkable influence on both the printing performance and printing endurance of the plate material when offset printing is actually performed after plate making, the quality of the surface-roughening treatment becomes an important factor for production of the plate material.
  • An AC electrolytic etching method is generally used as a method for roughening the surface of the printing plate aluminum support.
  • an electric current an ordinary sinusoidal alternating current or a special alternating-waveform current such as a rectangular-wave current or the like is used.
  • a suitable electrode made from graphite or the like was used as a counter electrode so that the surface of the aluminum plate was roughened by an alternating current.
  • the treatment was generally performed by one step and the pit depth obtained therein was shallow as a whole, so that printing endurance was poor. Therefore, various methods have been proposed to obtain an aluminum plate adapted for a printing plate support having a grained surface in which pits each having a depth larger than its diameter exist uniformly and finely.
  • JP-A-53-67507 a surface-roughening method using a special electrolytic electric source waveform
  • JP-A means Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication (kokai)
  • JP-A-54-65607 the ratio of an anodic electric quantity to a cathodic one at the time of electrolytic surface-roughening by means of an alternating current
  • JP-A-55-25381 electric source waveform
  • JP-A-56-29699 combination of the quantity of current conduction per unit area
  • an ingot of aluminum is melted and held so that a slab (thickness: 400 to 600 mm; width: 1000 to 2000 mm; and length: 2000 to 6000 mm) is cast.
  • An impurity structure portion in a surface of the slab is subjected to a face mill cutter so as to be cut by a depth in a range of from 3 to 10 mm.
  • a heat holding step for holding a temperature in a range of from 480 to 540°C for a time in a range of from 6 to 12 hours is performed in a heat holding furnace in order to remove stress in the inside of the slab and make the structure uniform.
  • hot rolling is performed at a temperature in a range of from 480 to 540°C.
  • cold rolling is performed at room temperature to obtain a predetermined thickness.
  • annealing for making the structure uniform is performed so that the rolled structure, or the like, is homogenized, cold rolling is performed to a defined thickness to correct the plate to have good flatness.
  • the thus produced aluminum support is used as a planographic printing plate support.
  • the electrolytic surface-roughening is, however, particularly easily affected by the aluminum support which is a subject. Therefore, when the aluminum support is produced by the steps of melting holding, casting, face mill cutting and heat holding, metal alloy components etc. in the surface layer of the aluminum support may scatter to bring a cause of lowering of yield of the planographic printing plate even in the case where not only heating and cooling are repeated but also a face mill cutting step for cutting the surface layer is provided.
  • the following method for producing a planographic printing plate support has been proposed as a method in which not only variation in the material of the aluminum support is reduced but also the yield of the electrolytic surface-roughening treatment is improved to thereby produce an excellent-quality good-yield planographic printing plate (U.S. Patent No. 5,078,805 corresponding to JP-A-3-79798).
  • the method comprises the steps of continuously performing casting and hot rolling to form a thin-plate hot-rolled coil from molten aluminum, and performing cold rolling, heating and correction to roughen a surface of the aluminum support.
