Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides an electrogalvanized steel sheet and a method manufacturing same, the electrogalvanized steel sheet having superb whiteness, and an attractive exterior surface due to reduction in surface scale.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An electrogalvanized steel sheet having excellent whiteness, comprising: a base steel sheet having a grain size of 10 to 20 μm in an internal structure; a nickel coating layer having an adhesion amount of 50 to 300 mg/m 2 provided on the base steel sheet; and a galvanized layer provided on the nickel coating layer, wherein the galvanized layer is formed from a galvanizing bath that includes Fe ions in a concentration of less than 500 ppm, and Na, Ca, and Mg ions at a combined concentration of 50 to 150 ppm, and wherein a whiteness L value is 88.0 or more measured by a Minolta CR-400 colorimeter, and the whiteness is measured based in the galvanized layer. 2 . The electrogalvanized steel sheet having excellent whiteness of claim 1 , wherein the electrogalvanized steel sheet comprises a single or a plurality of resin layers provided on the galvanized layer. 3 . The electrogalvanized steel sheet having excellent whiteness of claim 1 , wherein the whiteness L value is less than 89.5 measured by the Minolta CR-400 colorimeter.
