An aluminum sleeve for magnetic development rollers includes an aluminum sleeve and a shaft fixed at the ends of the aluminum sleeve for engaging with a gear, wherein an etching absorption layer is arranged on the surface of the aluminum sleeve, and a nickel plating protect layer is arranged onto the etching absorption layer. A manufacture method thereof involves forming an etching absorption layer on the surface of the aluminum sleeve via a chemical texture etching process, then forming a nickel plating protect layer onto the etching absorption layer via a nickel chemical plating process. The etching absorption layer has fine and uniform particles, and the nickel protect layer prevents the etching absorption layer from being oxidized and improves the wear resistance of the aluminum sleeve.
