  • Patent number: 10086586
    Abstract: Provided is a composite Al material for a drawn and ironed can from which a drawn and ironed can having brightness can be formed. In a resin coated metal plate used for forming a drawn and ironed can, a first resin layer (20) having a thickness of 0.02 to 2 ?m is formed on a surface of an Al plate 10 which forms an outer surface of the can, and a second resin layer 30 having a thickness of 1 to 40 ?m is formed on a surface of the Al plate 10 which forms an inner surface of the can. In a penetration test using a TMA device, an insertion amount of a quartz pin when a load of 5 g is applied to the first resin layer at a temperature of 100° C. is 20% or less of a film thickness of the first resin layer. Further, the first resin layer has a room temperature of 10 N/mm2 or more.

  • Patent number: 9662699
    Abstract: Disclosed is a resin-coated Al sheet with which a drawn and ironed can having a lustrous appearance can be formed. An upper limit of a thickness of an outer surface resin layer which covers an Al surface which becomes an outer surface of the can and has an arithmetical mean roughness (Ra) of 0.5 ?m or less with a thickness which falls within a range of 0.02 ?m to 6 ?m is determined based on an arithmetical mean roughness (Ra) of the Al surface, wherein the upper limit of the thickness of a coating outer-surface resin layer is decreased when the arithmetical mean roughness (Ra) is increased.

  • Publication number: 20150210431
    Abstract: There is provided a resin coated metal sheet for using drawn and ironed cans. The resin coated metal sheet is to be made into a can body by drawing and ironing. The resin coated metal sheet includes a metal sheet and a resin layer. The resin layer is formed on a surface of the metal sheet to be a can outer surface. The resin coated metal sheet for using drawn and ironed cans is characterized in that the resin layer having a storage elastic modulus of 500 MPa or less within a temperature range of 90-150° C. and a degree of breaking elongation of 100% or more within the temperature range of 90-150° C.
