Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a metal surface treatment agent which can form a film having excellent corrosion resistance and excellent hydrophilicity on or over a surface of a metal material; a method of producing a metal material having a film by using the metal surface treatment agent; and a metal material having a film, which is obtained by the method. A chemical agent, which contains prescribed amounts of a water-soluble or water-dispersible resin (A) and a compound (B) having a nitrile group and an amino group, is capable of forming a film having excellent corrosion resistance and excellent hydrophilicity on or over a surface of a metal material and, therefore, can solve the above-described problem.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A metal surface treatment agent, comprising: a water-soluble or water-dispersible resin (A); a compound (B) comprising a nitrile group and an amino group, and at least one inorganic compound (C) selected from a chromium compound, a vanadium compound, and a zirconium compound, wherein a ratio [B M /A M ] between a mass (A M ) of the resin (A) and a mass (B M ) of the compound (B) is in a range of 0.13 to 1.50, with a proviso that the compound (B) is not a polymer having a repeating structure, and wherein the metal surface treatment agent comprises no epoxy resin. 2 . The metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 , wherein the resin (A) is a resin comprising at least one functional group selected from an amino group, an amide group, a carboxy group, and a hydroxy group. 3 . The metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 , wherein the compound (B) has a molecular weight of 1,000 or less. 4 . The metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio [B M /C M ] between the mass (B M ) of the compound (B) and a mass (C M ) of the inorganic compound (C) is in a range of 0.10 to 5.00. 5 . A method of producing a metal material comprising a film, the method comprising the steps of: bringing the metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 into contact with or over a surface of a metal material; and drying the metal surface treatment agent thus brought into contact with or over the surface of the metal material. 6 . A metal material comprising a film, which is obtained by the method according to claim 5 . 7 . The metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 , wherein the chromium compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of chromium sulfate, chromium nitrate, chromium biphosphate, chromium fluoride, chromium acetate, chromium formate, chromic anhydride, and bichromatic acid. 8 . The metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 , wherein the vanadium compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of vanadium pentoxide, ammonium metavanadate, sodium metavanadate, vanadium oxytrichloride, vanadium trioxide, vanadium dioxide, vanadium oxysulfate, vanadium acetylacetonate, vanadyl acetylacetonate, vanadium trichloride, phosphovanadomolybdic acid, and vanadium sulfate. 9 . The metal surface treatment agent according to claim 1 , wherein the zirconium compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of zirconium nitrate, zirconium oxynitrate, zirconyl acetate, zirconyl sulfate, zirconyl ammonium carbonate, zirconyl potassium carbonate, zirconyl sodium carbonate, zirconia sol, a fluorozirconic acid and salts thereof, a zirconic acid obtained by ion exchange or alkali neutralization of an aqueous solution of a water-soluble zirconium salt, and salts of the zirconic acid.
