Abstract

A surface-treated steel sheet of the present invention includes: a base steel sheet; a surface treatment layer which is formed on at least one surface of the base steel sheet and includes an oxide layer and a metal layer; and a chemical conversion layer which is formed on a surface of the surface treatment layer. The surface treatment layer contains Zn in an adhered amount of 0.30 g/m 2 to 2.00 g/m 2 and Ni in an adhered amount of 0.03 g/m 2 to 2.00 g/m 2 , which is equal to or lower than the adhered amount of Zn. In a case of performing a glow discharge spectrometry, at an interface between the oxide layer and the metal layer, an emission intensity of Fe atoms is 20% or less of the maximum emission intensity of the Fe atoms, and the emission intensity of Ni atoms is 20% or less of the maximum emission intensity of the Ni atoms. In addition, a first range in which the emission intensity of Zn atoms is 60% or higher of the maximum emission intensity of the Zn atoms and a second range in which the emission intensity of the Ni atoms is 60% or higher of the maximum emission intensity of the Ni atoms overlap.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A surface-treated steel sheet comprising:
a base steel sheet;
a surface treatment layer which is formed on at least one surface of the base steel sheet and which consists of an oxide layer and a metal layer; and
a chemical conversion layer which is formed on a surface of the surface treatment layer,
wherein the surface treatment layer contains Zn in an adhered amount of 0.30 g/m 2 to 2.00 g/m 2 and Ni in an adhered amount of 0.03 g/m 2 to 2.00 g/m 2 , wherein the adhered amount of Ni is equal to or lower than the adhered amount of Zn,
the oxide layer is formed on a surface of the metal layer and is between the chemical conversion layer and the metal layer,
wherein distribution curves of emission intensities of Fe atoms, Zn atoms, and Ni atoms are obtained respectively by performing a glow discharge spectrometry in a range from a surface of the chemical conversion layer, which is used as a measurement start position, to a position at 1 μm from the surface of the surface treatment layer in a depth direction, which is used as a measurement end position,
the emission intensity of the Fe atoms at an interface between the oxide layer and the metal layer is 20% or less of a maximum emission intensity of the Fe atoms in the measured range,
the emission intensity of the Ni atoms at the interface is 20% or less of a maximum emission intensity of the Ni atoms, and
a first range in which the emission intensity of the Zn atoms is 60% or higher of a maximum emission intensity of the Zn atoms and a second range in which the emission intensity of the Ni atoms is 60% or higher of the maximum emission intensity of the Ni atoms overlap in the depth direction.

2. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein measurement data which represents a correspondence relationship between a diffracted X-ray intensity and a diffraction angle 2θ is obtained by performing an X-ray diffraction analysis on the surface treatment layer and a peak of the diffracted X-ray intensity is present in at least one of a range of the diffraction angles 2θ between 39.6° and 40.3° and a range of the diffraction angles 2θ between 78.7° and 79.2°.

3. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the adhered amount of Zn in the surface treatment layer is 0.80 g/m 2 to 1.20 g/m 2 , and
the adhered amount of Ni in the surface treatment layer is equal to or higher than 0.07 g/m 2 and is equal to or lower than half of the adhered amount of Zn.

4. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the surface treatment layer further contains Sn in an adhered amount of 10% or lower of the adhered amount of Zn, and
wherein Sn is contained as an alloy with other metals in the surface treatment layer.

5. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein an average thickness of the surface treatment layer is 0.30 μm or smaller.
