Abstract

Disclosed is an Fe-based electroplated steel sheet including: a Si-containing cold-rolled steel sheet containing Si in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more and 3.0 mass % or less; and an Fe-based electroplating layer formed on at least one surface of the Si-containing cold-rolled steel sheet with a coating weight per surface of 5.0 g/m 2 or more, in which in an intensity profile measured by glow discharge optical emission spectrometry, a peak of emission intensity at wavelengths indicating Si is detected within a range from a surface of the Fe-based electroplating layer to more than 0.2 μm in a thickness direction and not more than a thickness of the Fe-based electroplating layer, and an average value of C concentration in a region ranging from 10 μm to 20 μm in the thickness direction from the surface of the Fe-based electroplating layer is 0.10 mass % or less.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A method of producing an Fe-based electroplated steel sheet, the method comprising:
subjecting a cold-rolled steel sheet containing Si in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more and 3.0 mass % or less, Mn in an amount of 1.0 mass % or more and 3.5 mass % or less, and C in an amount of 0.03 mass % or more to Fe-based electroplating to obtain a pre-annealing Fe-based electroplated steel sheet with a pre-annealing Fe-based electroplating layer formed on at least one surface thereof with a coating weight per surface of 5.0 g/m 2 or more; then heating the pre-annealing Fe-based electroplated steel sheet with an average heating rate of 10° C./sec or higher in a temperature range from 400° C. to 650° C., wherein the heating is not oxidation heating, and cooling the pre-annealing Fe-based electroplated steel sheet after being held in the temperature range in an atmosphere with a dew point above −30° C., to obtain an Fe-based electroplated steel sheet, and wherein a coating weight (g/m 2 ) per surface of the pre-annealing Fe-based electroplating layer, denoted by C.W. Fe0 , and the dew point, denoted by D.P., satisfy the following formula (2):
(C.W. Fe0 )+(D.P.)≥15  (2).

2 . The method of producing an Fe-based electroplated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the cold-rolled steel sheet contains Si in an amount of 0.50 mass % or more and 3.0 mass % or less.

3 . The method of producing an Fe-based electroplated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the Fe-based electroplating is performed in an Fe-based electroplating bath containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, C, P, N, O, Ni, Mn, Mo, Zn, W, Pb, Sn, Cr, V, and Co, so that the at least one element is contained in the pre-annealing Fe-based electroplating layer in a total amount of 10 mass % or less.
