The surface is then subjected to electrochemical etching treatment in an acidic electrolytic solution in order to provide secondary pits on the surface also having a particularly defined average size. The support base may be further treated to provide in additional coating thereon or directly coated with a light-sensitive layer in order to provide a light-sensitive lithographic printing plate. By providing the particular alloy material and subjecting it to the disclosed treatment the light-sensitive layer has good adhesion with respect to the support.

The aluminum alloy sheet is fabricated through a series of steps of hot rolling a cast ingot with the foregoing composition; intermediate cold rolling to an intermediate thickness which is at least one and a half times a final thickness; heating to a temperature of 500.degree. C. or higher; then rapidly cooling from the temperature; and then final cold rolling. The spontaneous electrode potential of the invention alloy sheet is the same level as that of the mild steel or tin-free steel and, thus, can be used in combination with these steel can body materials without causing any detrimental galvanic corrosion.
