  • Publication number: 20240271256
    Abstract: A base steel sheet containing Si in an amount of 0.50 to 3.00 mass % is subjected to an Fe-based electroplating treatment using an Fe-based electroplating solution containing Fe ions and transition metal ions other than the Fe ions to form an Fe-based electroplated layer, and then to an annealing treatment. In the Fe-based electroplating solution, a content of the Fe ions is 1.0 mass % or more and a content of the transition metal ions is 10 to 1000 mass ppm. A coating amount of the Fe-based electroplated layer per one surface of the base steel sheet is 1.0 g/m2 or more.
