Abstract

A chemical treatment steel sheet includes a steel sheet; a Fe—Sn alloy layer which is formed on at least one surface of the steel sheet; an Sn layer which is formed on the Fe—Sn alloy layer; and a chemical treatment layer that is formed on the Sn layer, and contains a 0.01 to 0.1 mg/m 2 of Zr compounds in terms of an amount of metal Zr and 0.01 to 5 mg/m 2 of phosphate compounds in terms of an amount of P. The total Sn content of the Fe—Sn alloy layer and the Sn layer is 0.1 to 15 g/m 2 of Sn in terms of the amount of metal Sn.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A chemical treatment steel sheet comprising:
a steel sheet;
a Fe—Sn alloy layer which is formed on at least one surface of the steel sheet;
an Sn layer which is formed on the Fe—Sn alloy layer; and
a chemical treatment layer that is formed on the Sn layer, and consists of 0.01 to 0.1 mg/m 2 of Zr compounds in terms of an amount of metal Zr, 0.01 to 5 mg/m 2 of phosphate compounds in terms of an amount of P, and unavoidable impurities,
wherein a total Sn content of the Fe—Sn alloy layer and the Sn layer is 0.1 to 15 g/m 2 of Sn in terms of an amount of metal Sn.

2. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the chemical treatment layer contains 0.08 mg/m 2 or less of the Zr compounds in terms of the amount of metal Zr.

3. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 2 ,
wherein the chemical treatment layer contains 0.06 mg/m 2 or less of the Zr compounds in terms of the amount of metal Zr.

4. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the chemical treatment layer contains 0.02 mg/m 2 or greater of the Zr compounds in terms of the amount of metal Zr.

5. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the chemical treatment layer contains 4 mg/m 2 or less of the phosphate compounds in terms of the amount of P.

6. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the chemical treatment layer contains less than 1 mg/m 2 of the phosphate compounds in terms of the amount of P.

7. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the chemical treatment layer contains 0.03 mg/m 2 or greater of the phosphate compounds in terms of the amount of P.

8. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein when a variation amount in a yellowness index before and after storage for 4 weeks in an environment of a temperature of 40° C. and a humidity of 80% at one measurement point on an outermost surface of the chemical treatment layer is defined as ΔYI, an average value of the ΔYI obtained at the measurement points included in a unit area of the outermost surface is less than 1.7.

9. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the total Sn content of the Fe-Sn alloy layer and the Sn layer is 0.5 to 13 g/m 2 of Sn in terms of an amount of metal Sn.

10. The chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein a surface of the chemical treatment layer is not coated with a film or a coating.

11. A method for producing the chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 1 , comprising:
a plating process of forming an Sn coated layer that contains 0.1 to 15 g/m 2 of Sn in terms of the amount of metal Sn on a surface of a steel sheet;
a reflow process of forming an Fe—Sn alloy layer and an Sn layer by performing a reflow treatment to the Sn coated layer; and
a chemical treatment process of forming a chemical treatment layer on the Sn layer by performing an electrolytic treatment in a chemical treatment liquid, which contains equal to or greater than 10 ppm and less than 500 ppm of Zr ions, 10 to 20000 ppm of F ions, 10 to 3000 ppm of phosphate ions, and 100 to 30000 ppm in a total amount of nitrate ions and sulfate ions and of which a temperature is set to equal to or higher than 5° C. and lower than 90° C., under conditions of a current density of 0.5 to 20 A/dm 2 and an electrolytic treatment time of 0.05 to 10 seconds, or by performing an immersion treatment in the chemical treatment liquid for an immersion time of 0.2 to 100 seconds.

12. The method for producing a chemical treatment steel sheet according to claim 11 ,
wherein the chemical treatment liquid contains 100 ppm to less than 500 ppm of Zr ions, 100 to 17000 ppm of F ions, 20 to 2000 ppm of phosphate ions, and 1000 to 20000 ppm in a total amount of nitrate ions and sulfate ions.
