First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A surface-treated steel sheet comprising:
a steel sheet as a base metal; and
a coating layer including Ni, Co, Fe and impurities provided on a surface of the steel sheet as the base metal and,
wherein the coating layer includes
a Ni—Co alloy coating layer which is a region between a position where a mass concentration of Co becomes maximum and a position where the mass concentration of Co becomes 8 mass % for the first time, which are specified by performing line analysis on a cross section of the coating layer in a direction from the surface of the surface-treated steel sheet toward the steel sheet as the base metal with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy,
a Ni—Fe alloy layer which is a region between a position where a mass concentration of Fe becomes 8 mass % for the first time and a position where a mass concentration of Ni and the mass concentration of Fe become the same for the first time, which are specified by performing the line analysis on the cross section of the coating layer in the direction from the surface of the surface-treated steel sheet toward the steel sheet as the base metal with the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and
a Ni layer which is present between the Ni—Co alloy coating layer and the Ni—Fe alloy layer,
in the coating layer, a total adhesion amount of Co is 0.2 g/m 2 to 2.3 g/m 2 , and a total adhesion amount of Ni is 8.9 g/m 2 or more,
the Ni layer has a thickness of 0.3 μm to 3.0 μm,
an atomic concentration of Co specified by analyzing a surface of the Ni—Co alloy coating layer with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is 20 at % to 70 at %, and
a Co concentration gradient y in the coating layer in a depth direction obtained by substituting Ip, I 1/5 and Δx, which are specified by performing the line analysis on the cross section of the coating layer with the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, into Formula (1) is 50 mass %/μm to 400 mass %/μm,

X 1/5 : a depth by unit μm of a position where the mass concentration of Co becomes I 1/5 for the first time on a side closer to the steel sheet as the base metal than Xp, specified by the line analysis, and
an origin of depth measurement for both X 1/5 and Xp is set to the surface of the coating layer.

2. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the total adhesion amount of Co in the coating layer is 0.4 g/m 2 or more.

3. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the thickness of the Ni layer is 2.0 μm or less.

4. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the total adhesion amount of Co in the coating layer is 0.4 g/m 2 to 1.8 g/m 2 .

5. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the total adhesion amount of Ni in the coating layer is 9.5 g/m 2 to 17 g/m 2 .

6. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the atomic concentration of Co on the surface of the Ni—Co alloy coating layer is 30 at % to 60 at %.

7. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the Co concentration gradient y in the coating layer in the depth direction is 110 to 300.

8. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 2 ,
wherein the thickness of the Ni layer is 2.0 μm or less.

9. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 3 ,
wherein the total adhesion amount of Co in the coating layer is 0.4 g/m 2 to 1.8 g/m 2 .

10. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 3 ,
wherein the total adhesion amount of Ni in the coating layer is 9.5 g/m 2 to 17 g/m 2 .

11. The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 3 ,
