  • Patent number: 11939692
    Abstract: A steel sheet for can making and methods for manufacturing the same. The steel sheet includes, in order from a steel sheet side, an iron-nickel diffusion layer, a metallic chromium layer, and a chromium oxide layer. The iron-nickel diffusion layer has a nickel coating weight of 50 mg/m2 to 500 mg/m2 per surface of the steel sheet and a thickness of 0.060 ?m to 0.500 ?m per surface of the steel sheet. The metallic chromium layer includes a flat-like metallic chromium sublayer and a granular metallic chromium sublayer placed on a surface of the flat-like metallic chromium sublayer. The total chromium coating weight of both sublayers per surface of the steel sheet is 60 mg/m2 to 200 mg/m2. The chromium oxide layer has a chromium coating weight 3 mg/m2 to 10 mg/m2 per surface of the steel sheet in terms of metallic chromium.

  • Patent number: 11339491
    Abstract: A steel sheet for cans which exhibits excellent weldability; and a production method therefor include a steel sheet for cans with the surface of a steel sheet in order from the steel sheet side, a chromium metal layer and a hydrous chromium oxide layer. The deposited amount of the chromium metal layer is 65-200 mg/m2. The deposited amount of the hydrous chromium oxide layer in terms of chromium is 3-30 mg/m2. The chromium metal layer includes: a base part having a thickness of 7.0 nm or higher; and granular protrusions which are on the base part, have a maximum grain size of 100 nm or lower, and have a number density per unit area of at least 200 per ?m2.
