Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The surface-treated steel includes: a steel; a plated layer containing Zn or a Zn alloy formed on a surface of the steel; and a chemical conversion coating film formed on a surface of the plated layer, wherein the chemical conversion coating film contains an organosilicon compound having a siloxane bond, and P and F, and when the abundance ratio of an alkylene group and a siloxane bond in the organosilicon compound is measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), a ratio A1/A2 of a peak value A1 of an absorbance at 2,800 to 3,000 cm −1 indicating the alkylene group to a peak value A2 of an absorbance at 1,030 to 1,200 cm −1 indicating the siloxane bond is 0.10 to 0.75.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A surface-treated steel comprising: a steel; a plated layer containing Zn or a Zn alloy formed on a surface of the steel; and a chemical conversion coating film formed on a surface of the plated layer, wherein the chemical conversion coating film contains P, F, and an organosilicon compound having a siloxane bond, an abundance ratio of an alkylene group and the siloxane bond in the organosilicon compound is measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) at a resolution of 4 cm −1 in an air atmosphere, and a ratio A1/A2 of a peak value A1 of an absorbance at 2,800 to 3,000 cm −1 , indicating the alkylene group, to a peak value A2 of an absorbance at 1,030 to 1,200 cm −1 , indicating the siloxane bond, is 0.10 to 0.75. 2 . The surface-treated steel according to claim 1 , wherein an abundance ratio of a phosphate group in the chemical conversion coating film and the siloxane bond in the organosilicon compound is measured by FT-IR at a resolution of 4 cm −1 in an air atmosphere, and a ratio A3/A2 of an absorbance A3 of the phosphate group at 1,200 cm −1 to the peak value A2 of the absorbance at 1,030 to 1,200 cm −1 , indicating the siloxane bond, is 0.43 to 1.00. 3 . The surface-treated steel according to claim 1 , wherein an adhesion amount of the plated layer is 10 to 200 g/m 2 per one surface and an adhesion amount of the chemical conversion coating film is 100 to 2000 mg/m 2 per one surface.
