Abstract: A surface-treated steel sheet for a container, comprising: a steel sheet, and a Zr compound film disposed on the steel sheet, wherein the Zr compound film being formed by a dipping or electrolytic treatment in a solution containing Zr ion, F ion, ammonium ion and nitrate ion; and the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 1 to 100 mg/m2 in terms of the amount of metallic Zr, and 0.1 mg/m2 or less in terms of the F amount. There is provided a steel sheet for container, which has an excellent processability in the can manufacturing, and at the same time, is excellent in drawing and ironing processability, weldability, corrosion resistance, adherence thereof to a coating material and adherence thereof to a film, and a process for producing such a steel sheet for container.

Abstract: A laser processing apparatus includes: a reflection mirror (1, 4) reflecting a laser beam (LA, LB) to an inner or outer surface at an upper edge portion (14a) of a cup (14); a reflection mirror (2, 5) reflecting a part that has passed an outer side of the upper edge portion (14a), of the laser beam (LA, LB) reflected by the reflection mirror (1, 4), to an outer or inner surface of the cup (14); and a rotating pedestal (15) rotating the cup (14) around its center relative to the reflection mirror (1, 4) and the reflection mirror (2, 5).

Abstract: Steel sheet for container use with excellent canmaking workability and with excellent drawability and ironability, weldability, corrosion resistance, coating adhesion, film adhesion, and wettability characterized in that a surface of the steel sheet has a Zr film which contains, by amount of metal Zr, 1 to 100 mg/m2 of Zr oxides.

Abstract: Steel sheet for container use able to realize superior corrosion resistance and canmaking ability, wherein at least one side of the steel sheet is provided with a chemical conversion coating film including a mixture of a zirconium oxide compound and a zirconium phosphate compound, the zirconium oxide compound is segregated at part or all of a region of 40 to 100% from the surface with respect to the total thickness of the chemical conversion coating film, and the zirconium phosphate compound is segregated at part or all of a region of 0 to 40% from the surface with respect to the total thickness of the chemical conversion coating film.

Abstract: A metal band having metallic appearance and being excellent in forming stability is provided. The metal band includes a coating film containing not less than 20 mass % in the coated and dried state, of filler of aluminum or aluminum alloys on the side thereof corresponding to the outside of a can. The metal band also has a resin-rich portion containing not more than approximately 5 mass % of the filler, approximately 0.1 to 20 ?m in thickness in the coated surface far from the metal strip surface, seamlessly-formed can bodies made of such strips. Methods for manufacturing such strips and can bodies are also provided.
