Publication number: 20100035055Abstract: An aqueous surface-treatment liquid is a treatment liquid containing a water-soluble zirconium compound, water-dispersive particulate silica, a silane coupling agent, a vanadic acid compound, a phosphoric acid compound, a nickel compound, and an acrylic resin emulsion in particular proportions. A surface-treated galvanized steel sheet produced using the treatment liquid is a galvanized steel sheet having a surface-treatment coating on a surface thereof, and the coating contains a zirconium compound, particulate silica, a silane-coupling-agent-derived component, a vanadic acid compound, a phosphoric acid compound, a nickel compound, and an acrylic resin in particular proportions. The amount of coating on a zirconium basis is 10 to 200 mg/m2. This surface-treated galvanized steel sheet is chromate-free and has superior flat-portion corrosion resistance, blackening resistance, and appearance and corrosion resistance after press forming.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2007Publication date: February 11, 2010Inventors: Kazuhisa Okai, Rie Umebayashi, Etsuo Hamada, Akira Matsuzaki, Satoru Ando
