Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The surface-treated steel sheet includes an alloy layer containing Ni and Co. In a case where, in a cross section obtained by cutting the alloy layer in the thickness direction, a range having a width of 2000 nm and extending from the surface of the alloy layer to a depth of 100 nm is partitioned into regions each having a width of 100 nm and a depth of 100 nm, within the range the alloy layer includes a plurality of high Co concentration regions in each of which the ratio of a Co concentration to a sum of the Co concentration and a Ni concentration within the partitioned region is 0.8 or more, and a plurality of alloyed regions in each of which a ratio of the Co concentration to a sum of the Co concentration and the Ni concentration within the partitioned region is less than 0.8.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A surface-treated steel sheet, comprising: a steel sheet, and an alloy layer containing Ni and Co on a surface of the steel sheet, wherein in a case where, in a cross section obtained by cutting the alloy layer in a thickness direction, a range having a width of 2000 nm and extending from a surface of the alloy layer to a depth of 100 nm is partitioned into regions each having a width of 100 nm and a depth of 100 nm, within the range the alloy layer includes: a plurality of high Co concentration regions in each of which a ratio of a Co concentration to a sum of the Co concentration and a Ni concentration within the partitioned region is 0.8 or more, and a plurality of alloyed regions in each of which a ratio of the Co concentration to a sum of the Co concentration and the Ni concentration within the partitioned region is less than 0.8, the plurality of alloyed regions being arranged alternately with the high Co concentration regions. 2 . The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein: in the range which, in the cross section obtained by cutting the alloy layer in the thickness direction of the alloy layer, has a width of 2000 nm and extends to a depth of 100 nm from the surface of the alloy layer, a ratio of an area of the high Co concentration regions to an area of the alloyed regions is 0.10 to 4.00. 3 . The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein: per side of the steel sheet, a content of Ni in the alloy layer is 1.34 to 5.36 g/m 2 , and a content of Co in the alloy layer is 0.45 to 1.34 g/m 2 . 4 . The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein: per side of the steel sheet, a content of Ni in the alloy layer is 5.36 to 35.6 g/m 2 , and a content of Co in the alloy layer is 0.45 to 1.34 g/m 2 . 5 . The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein: per side of the steel sheet, a content of Ni in the alloy layer is 1.34 to 5.36 g/m 2 , and a content of Co in the alloy layer is 0.45 to 1.34 g/m 2 . 6 . The surface-treated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein: per side of the steel sheet, a content of Ni in the alloy layer is 5.36 to 35.6 g/m 2 , and a content of Co in the alloy layer is 0.45 to 1.34 g/m 2 .
