  • Publication number: 20170170436
    Abstract: A steel foil for a power storage device container includes a rolled steel foil, a nickel layer formed on a surface of the rolled steel foil, and a chromium-based surface treatment layer formed on a surface of the nickel layer. The nickel layer includes an upper layer portion which is in contact with the chromium-based surface treatment layer and contains Ni of 90 mass % or more among metal elements, and a lower layer portion which is in contact with the rolled steel foil and contains Ni of less than 90 mass % among the metal elements and Fe. <111> polar density in a reverse pole figure of the nickel layer in a rolling direction is 3.0 to 6.0. The nickel layer has a sub-boundary which is a boundary between two crystals having a relative orientation difference of 2° to 5°, and a large angle boundary which is a boundary between two crystals having the relative orientation difference of equal to or more than 15°.

  • Patent number: 9074083
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polyolefin resin composition for metal coating, which is excellent in separation resistance, weather resistance and corrosion resistance, can be industrially produced without difficulty even by an existing apparatus, and is assured of excellent scratch resistance without using a surface coating agent; a resin film using the composition; and a resin-coated metal material. The polyolefin resin composition for metal coating comprises at least (A) a polyolefin resin, (B) a layered inorganic material, (C) an olefin containing oligomer containing a functional group having polarity and (D) a rubber-like elastic material.

  • Publication number: 20090029245
    Abstract: The present invention provides a resin-coated stainless steel foil capable of maintaining a strong adherence force to the film even in an electrolytic solution to exhibit good corrosion resistance and excellent in the workability, design property and piecing resistance, and a container and a secondary battery each using the resin-coated stainless steel foil. According to the present invention, a resin-coated stainless steel foil having a chromate treatment layer of 2 to 200 nm in thickness on at least one surface of a stainless steel foil and having at least a polyolefin-based resin (A) layer containing a functional group having polarity on the chromate treatment layer; and a container and a secondary battery each using the resin-coated stainless steel foil are provided.
