Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing a surface-treated steel sheet for battery containers including: a first process of forming an iron-nickel alloy plating layer on at least one side of a steel sheet; a second process of forming a nickel plating layer on the iron-nickel alloy plating layer; and a third process of performing a thermal treatment after forming the nickel plating layer to form an iron-nickel alloy layer having an outermost surface, at which a content ratio of Fe atoms is 12 to 55% by atom, on an outermost layer by thermal diffusion. The invention makes it possible to provide the method for producing the surface-treated steel sheet for battery containers that can suppress the elution of iron inside the battery when being used for a battery container, whereby the service life of the battery can be extended and battery characteristics such as discharge characteristics can be improved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing a surface-treated steel sheet for battery containers, comprising: a first process of forming an iron-nickel alloy plating layer on at least one side of a steel sheet; a second process of forming a nickel plating layer on the iron-nickel alloy plating layer; and a third process of performing a thermal treatment after forming the nickel plating layer so as to form an iron-nickel alloy layer having an outermost surface, at which a content ratio of Fe atoms is 12 to 55 atomic %, on an outermost layer by thermal diffusion. 2 . The method for producing the surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-nickel alloy plating layer is formed in the first process to have a content ratio of Fe atoms being 15 to 65 atomic %. 3 . The method for producing the surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the nickel plating layer is formed in the second process to have a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 μm.
