  • Patent number: 10934629
    Abstract: Provided is a surface-treated steel sheet with a compound layer containing F and composed essentially or Zr at least on one surface thereof, wherein the Zr amount is 80 to 350 mg/m2 and the F amount is 0.5 to 10 mg/m2 within the layer, and an organic resin coated metal container manufactured using the surface-treated steel sheet. The surface-treated steel sheet of the present invention is manufactured through forming a layer having the Zr amount of 80 to 350 mg/m2 at least on one surface of a steel sheet by cathode electrolytic treatment in an aqueous solution containing a Zr ion and F ion, and subsequently adjusting the surface to control the F amount to 0.5 to 10 mg/m2 by one or more treatments selected from immersion and spraying with an ion-containing aqueous solution and cathode electrolytic treatment in the ion-containing aqueous solution.

  • Patent number: 10156021
    Abstract: A method of producing a surface-treated steel sheet is provided. The surface-treated steel sheet includes a layer that contains a metal oxide. The method is characterized by including: dipping a steel sheet for 0.1 to 10 seconds in a treatment liquid that contains at least fluoride ions and has a pH of 2 to 5; and electrically treating by flowing a direct current between the steel sheet and an electrode in a treatment liquid to form a layer that contains a metal oxide on a surface of the steel sheet. According to the present invention, there can be provided a method of producing a surface-treated steel sheet which can enhance the interfacial adhesion with an organic resin layer when the organic resin layer is formed on the metal oxide layer.

  • Publication number: 20160002809
    Abstract: A method of producing a surface-treated steel sheet is provided. The method has a step of performing electrolytic treatment thereby to form a layer including a metal-oxygen compound on a surface of a steel sheet. The electrolytic treatment is performed so that the steel sheet is continuously fed into electrolytic treatment baths each including a treatment liquid and an electrode. The treatment liquid contains metal ions.
