Abstract: Steel plate for automobile bodies and a method for manufacturing the steel plate are disclosed, the steel plate containing 0.02.about.0.03% of P as an alloying element with a total amount of Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mo being more than 0. 01% but less than 0.08 weight % and being electroplated with a Zn alloy.

Abstract: A method of surface treatment of a copper foil for printed circuit boards comprising the steps of forming a treating layer of copper-zinc or copper-zinc-nickel by electrolysing at least a side of a copper foil in a manner of cathodic electrolysis in a bath of copper-zinc including copper ion, zinc ion, tartaric acid and alkali or further including nickel ion, and giving a chromate treatment to the copper foil. A copper foil for printed circuit boards obtained by using a copper-zinc-nickel bath.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an iron-zinc alloy plated steel sheet having two plating layers and excellent in electropaintability and press-formability, which comprises the steps of: passing a steel sheet through a zinc dip-plating bath to form a zinc dip-plating layer on at least one surface of the steel sheet; then, heating the steel sheet, on which the zinc dip-plating layer has been formed, to alloy the zinc dip-plating layer and the surface portion of the steel sheet, so as to form, on the surface thereof, an alloying-treated iron-zinc alloy dip-plating layer as a lower layer having a plating weight of from 30 to 120 g/m.sup.

Abstract: Steel plate for automobile bodies and a method for manufacturing the steel plate are disclosed, the steel plate containing 0.02.about.0.03% of P as an alloying element with a total amount of Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mo being more than 0.01% but less than 0.08 weight % and being electroplated with a Zn alloy.

Abstract: An improved treatment for copper foil comprising electrodepositing a metallic barrier layer of copper, zinc and antimony on at least one side of the foil which, preferably, has a matte surface formed prior to forming the barrier layer. The so-treated foil provides a high bonding strength when laminated to polymeric substrates and resists undercutting by mineral acid etchants and rinses during production of printed circuit boards.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a zinciferous electroplated steel sheet excellent in press-formability, which comprises the steps of: electroplating a steel sheet in a zinciferous acidic electroplating solution, which contains nitric acid ions or nitrous acid ions in an amount within a range of from 0.1 to 50 g per liter of the electroplating solution, and oxide particles of a metal or a semimetal, uniformly dispersible into the electroplating solution, in an amount within a range of from 0.1 to under 0.5 g per liter of the electroplating solution, to form, on at least one surface of the steel sheet, a zinciferous electroplating layer in which zinc hydroxide particles having the oxide particles as nuclei thereof are uniformly dispersed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating a surface of a copper foil for producing the copper foil for a printed circuit board in which a zinc layer, a copper layer and a chromate layer are formed in turn on the copper foil. The product of the present invention is excellent in heat resistance and hydrochloric acid resistance and the process according to the present invention does not require the use of dangerous chemicals and is free from any problems on safety.

Abstract: A technique for improving the peel strength of copper and copper based alloy materials, and particularly for copper or copper based alloy materials which may be wrought or electrolytically deposited copper foil having an antitarnish treatment applied thereto, preferably by the use of a chromate-containing solution. The material is subjected to a rinse containing a silane coupling agent, which preferably is an organofunctional silane, and more preferably is an alkoxysilane derivative. Both the original peel strength and the peel strength after storage of the material so treated is enhanced.
