Abstract: There is provided a practically useful aqueous resin composition which enables to obtain a coating film that is satisfactory not only in corrosion resistance but also in coating adhesion when applied over a metal surface, specifically an aqueous resin composition which enables, in a form of a thin film having a thickness of about 0.1-5 ?m, to exhibit various properties practically required for surface treating agents for chromium-free surface-treated steel plates, namely excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion to steel plates, durability against alkaline degreasing agents or solvents which are used for removing a press oil used during press molding, adhesion to an overcoating material which is used for aesthetic purposes, mechanical stability and the like. The aqueous resin composition comprises 100 parts by mass of a copolymer of an ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and an olefin; and 0.
