  • Publication number: 20180016682
    Abstract: A coating that contains acid-modified polypropylene and that contains 5 mass % or more of nonvolatile matter is applied to a traveling metal strip in a state in which the surface temperature of the metal strip is 60° C. or lower. Next, the coating applied to the metal strip is baked at 80-250° C., and a coating film having a film thickness of 0.3 ?m or greater is formed on the traveling metal strip. The proportion of acid-modified polypropylene to resin total mass in the coating film is 40 mass % or higher. The traveling metal strip is then wound after being cooled to a surface temperature of 80° C. or lower.

  • Publication number: 20160137891
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coated shaped metal material that is excellent in adhesion to a molded article of a thermoplastic resin composition and can be easily produced. The coated shaped metal material comprises a shaped metal material and a coating formed on a surface of the shaped metal material. The shaped metal material is a product made of a metal and has a predetermined shape by applying heat or force to the metal. The coating comprises a polyurethane resin containing a polycarbonate unit. A mass ratio of the polycarbonate unit to a total resin mass in the coating is 15 to 80 mass %. The coating has a film thickness of 0.5 to 20 ?m.

  • Patent number: 7147934
    Abstract: A chemically processed steel sheet comprises a steel base coated with an Al—Si alloy plating layer, whose Si content is preferably adjusted to 5–13 mass % as a whole and to 7–80 mass % at a surface, and a converted layer generated on the surface of the plating layer. The converted layer contains both soluble and scarcely-soluble compounds. The soluble compound, such as a manganese oxide or hydroxide, or a valve metal fluoride, is once dissolved into water in an atmosphere and then re-precipitated as scarcely-soluble compounds at defective parts of the converted layer. The scarcely-soluble compounds act as a barrier for corrosion prevention of a base steel. Due to the re-precipitation, i.e., self-repairing faculty, excellent corrosion resistance of the converted layer is still maintained even after defects are introduced therein during plastic deformation of the steel sheet.

  • Patent number: 6730414
    Abstract: A chemically processed steel sheet comprising a steel base coated with an Al—Si alloy plating layer, whose Si content is preferably adjusted to approximately 5-13 mass % as a whole and to approximately 7-80 mass % at a surface, and a converted layer generated on the surface of the plating layer. The converted layer contains both soluble and scarcely-soluble compounds. The soluble compound such as a manganese oxide or hydroxide or a valve metal fluoride is once dissolved to water in an atmosphere and then re-precipitated as scarcely-soluble compounds at defective parts of the converted layer. The scarcely-soluble compounds act as a barrier for corrosion-prevention of a base steel. Due to the re-precipitation, that is self-repairing faculty, excellent corrosion resistance of the converted layer is still maintained even after defects are introduced therein during plastic deformation of the steel sheet.

  • Patent number: 6544666
    Abstract: A new processed steel sheet comprising of a steel base coated with a Zn or its alloy plating layer and a converted layer, which contains both of at least an insoluble or scarcely-soluble metal compound and at least a soluble metal compound. The insoluble or scarcely-soluble compound may be one or more of valve metal oxides or hydroxides, and the soluble compound may be one or more of valve metal fluorides. The converted layer may be also composed of one or more of complex compounds of Mn and Ti. The insoluble or scarcely-soluble compound acts as a barrier for insulation of a steel base from an atmosphere, while the soluble compound exhibits a self-repairing faculty to repair defective parts of the converted layer. Due to the converted layer, the processed steel sheet is remarkably improved in corrosion resistance, without the presence of chromium compounds which would put harmful influences on the environment.
